First Screenprinting!

This is the design I stenciled:



On Saturday I prepared my screen with my template paper cut out for my first screen printing.


Getting ready to print on Sunday night:


I bought these shirts from Just Incredible $2 shop for $4 each. They're really nice quality and a good range of colours.

 I got my sisters to pick the shirts they want.

A pic of my first ever print!


I have some videos of my process that I'll edit together soon.

These are the finished shirts! I've ironed the ink so should be washable now (though I wouldn't recommend too many)


Because it was a stencil, I went in and painted over the gaps to make the letters whole on the shirts.

Here's me wearing one! I'm excited for my sisters to wear theirs :)




The next type of print I'm going to do is the drawing fluid technique with the all three plants image.
