Thank you Mo!
Thanks Lea! It is all in the practice ha ha look at earlier pieces I have done, I do think I am getting a bit better but it is a long and slow process, you just have to keep going. Yes, love Jay's voice.
Thank you so much Elke, glad you liked it!

I did that one earlier this year when I was trying out different ways of making portraits of Mitsi. I so need to work more in colour - I know I know I should just GO FOR IT!! You always encourage and inspire me with your amazing works!
Mary,you made my day!Great video!What was on your wall which looked like a portrait in colours?

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).
