I think I got 2 and 3 mixed and mashed so I ended up doing a hand drawn design and a collage sort of design in the same print! But I finished the actual stencil and printing last module! as for reclaiming, I’ve made a home reclaiming set up out of my bathroom, and I…
It was an exciting challenge to make these two colour prints on two tshirts and five aprons. There was a few corrections I had to make when printing because certain parts were not lining up perfectly so i had to tape spots off to allow it to dry and reprint the missing parts so it…
My reclaiming went ok but my hand drawn exposure is still not quite there. I moved my light a bit higher as my measurements were off the first time. i lost some lines again. I will have to play with exposure time and maybe try a different approach. Also I was still able to pull…
So this week was a bust. My emulsion didn’t seem quite dry and for whatever reason I exposed it anyways. I also left it on for 1 minute too long due to technical difficulties. I was trying too hard to come up with a solid design and it took me 3 days to come up…
I managed to Reclaim both screens, then coating seems to be getting easier. The first screen (156) I tried a grouse wing fan, and a sharpie design on the bottom of a moose, the grouse wing didn’t turn out but the moose design looked ok, but I made a critical error and it pretty obvious…
Was a lot of experimenting this week but we are getting a handle on things. Both of us were doing some tests with hand drawing using the looser tools–the china marker, the oil crayon and the india ink. India Ink + mylar = 🙅🏼♀️ (bottom right corner.) We got a decent burnout. With the old…
Reclaim screen went well, no issued Recoating emulsion was a bit trickier then last time. I panicked and ended up having to put 3 coats on one side and compensated by only putting one coat on other side(not sure if this was a good idea?) Hand drew the Lucky Buddha and traced can using bother…
Washout went okay. I used a hose, a lot of the spray, and a lot of elbow grease. I thoroughly washed out the screen for a very long time, but I wasn’t able to remove all of the emulsion – there were a couple spots. I washed it for so long that I am sure…
Question over here. We are still getting some ghosting and/or some of the emulsion is not coming out via our outdoor hose / emulsion spray setup. Is this OK or do we need to make a mad dash to the carwash? In more positive news these funny silicone gloves we were given as a gift…
