Comment by bevsah on June 17, 2010 at 1:39am: Wendy, Love this. I also collect road rust and have incorporated the rust into my art. Like your use of found elements.

Comment by Janny on May 26, 2010 at 5:00am: Great, love the colours and rusted things;o)

Comment by Jo Ankney on April 8, 2010 at 2:56am: I am so so inspired. One thing I absolutely love about your second painting is exactly how dangerous it is. Oh goodness girl, I love this. And the suspension idea. Genius....I love this so much

Comment by Shelly McCulloch Atkinson on March 16, 2010 at 8:42pm: love this Wendy!

Comment by Wendy Johnson on July 7, 2009 at 3:39am: Thank you all for the truley lovely responses. I really, really enjoyed doing this piece and it is so nice to have such positive feedback, especially for something that was so experimental. Also because the one side has a religious theme, I wasn't sure how it was going to be received. I am so thrilled that you all like it.

Comment by POETIC DREAMS on July 1, 2009 at 11:39pm: I like how if ya get board looking at one side ya can change it to the other. A lot of work & thought went into this piece. I really like it. Ya should be so proud!

Comment by Wendy Johnson on July 1, 2009 at 12:50pm: Wow, thanks Ron, I am so glad you think so.

Comment by Brahma Moon on July 1, 2009 at 12:14pm: This piece excites me so much. It's an incredibly meaningful piece, much more Rauschenbergian than anything I could ever conceive. Your colors and materials are in great harmony with each other. Your work really spoke to mle. It's RR in its pure form.

Comment by Eva Macie on July 1, 2009 at 5:03am: I really love what you've created, especially the first side with the square within a square.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

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).
