Thanks Palma, Grant and Pat....yes...I make my own alcohol inks...so easy....99% rubbing alcohol and liquid RIT dye...mix in baby food jar until you get the color you want...keep covered when not in use...it seems to work really nicely on sanded surfaces, either paper or wood, etc.

Greg, I love that rusty old talc tin and the whole piece that it ended up in. You seem to find the some very cool stuff but what you do with them is even cooler.

Love watching your process Greg. Thanks again for sharing.
I really like your new ideas of partitioning the boxes and leaving one side without the glass. All three looked fab. You always have the best little treasures to add in to make the piece perfect.

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).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
