Hello Lisa
Yes I do use actual grasses in these works. They are dried before applying, I glue them down with craft glue and then paint them with a sealer. I don't have any problems with them breaking down. Glad you enjoy them, let me know if you have any more questions for me and I'll be happy to answer them.

Hi Lisa, I really enjoyed looking at your photography, you have a great eye. MORE....MORE!
Welcome Lisa! This ning site is the best place for all us to experiment and learn. Looking forward to see some of your work in progress, sounds interesting.
So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
