Screen Printing Project

This one goes out to Kathy McTee! I finally got around to printing James' t-shirt last week. I was really pleased with the outcome. I tried it on several different colors of t-shirts and liked the black on olive best. I also printed some of my botanical screens onto shopping bags, paper and fabric. One one of them, I did a collage. I hope to add other stuff to the paper shopping bags, like make them more collage-y so that I can use them for gift bags in the future. They are paper bags from different stores - it's a form of recycling, I guess.



I definitely learned a few things like that you can only print a few times before a screen starts getting blurry - or maybe that's my inexperience. I also figured out the hard way that you need to print onto a flat surface. It was a fun project! Maybe I will use the botanical screens on some t-shirts for myself soon!
