My Creative Space: The Big Screen

I've been meaning to bust out the screen printing set since I bought it.  Really, I have.  But it's one of those Big Projects With Many Steps.  So finally, after a ludicrous amount of hemming and hawing, I prepared the screen at 11:00 on Monday night.  Then, on Tuesday, I took my design to Staples and had them copy it onto transparencies.  On Wednesday, I made my screen sandwich and hoped fervently for a ray of sunlight.  No dice.

 

This morning, I lucked out, though.  The skies were bluish, and I was able to expose the screen.  There was birdsong and much jubilation.  So much jubilation, in fact, that I forgot about the screen I'd left baking on the front porch for a good 15 minutes.   (Not a good idea, in case you were planning to try it.)  The rinsing process was significantly slowed down by the overexposed screen, but after a long soggy battle, the kitchen sprayer and I were victorious, and the screen was ready to print.
 

A swell time was had by all.

 

I seem to have a little bit of an addiction developing, though.
 

(The onesie tipped me off.)
