Screen Print 2006
Screen prints are fun, yet time consuming. You have to take one color and apply that to everything in your image that shares that color. First, draw a picture. Then you trace it onto cells and color everything in black. The cell (which is see-through) goes onto a silk screen and is exposed to light. The only parts that show are the parts on the cell. After that, you cover up what ever you don't want to color. So, when you add the ink (lets say your coloring the hat and shirt), you cover everything else with paper. The sheet that you are printing on is placed under the screen (using tape to make sure you put it in the right place for each color). When you run the red ink over the screen, it falls through the parts marked by the cell (that aren't covered). You have to do this for each color, one at a time. Did I mention you have to wait for each one to dry before starting a new color lol. This was my first one, which is why there are only a few colors!
