Do you have any sites that give you inspiration?
One of the first things I advise people to do when working with screen printing and direct liquid emulsions is to use 100% opaque film. This is something that we have become accustom to not having. In the early days of screen printing the film positives were made using a genuine photographic process producing a silver nitrate piece of film that was just absolutely opaque. The density of the image area in the film was 100%. The film was made with “process” cameras or “stat” cameras and processed through small automatic developing machines. As the computer came of age we started to see cheaper and easier methods of producing film positives emerge on the commercial market. The draw back or compensation for the lesser cost is: many computer produced laser vellum products and inkjet or laser films are inferior compared to their true film predecessors.

Today was a very fun, creative day!
I was inspired to make a gift set for a family who is soon expecting their first baby. I decided to hand sketch my image this time. I am exploring different styles that work well as a screen print image.
After sketching my “cute as a bug” image I scanned it into my computer.
I used the eye dropper in Gimp to make sure that I selected the darkest black for the outline and also added some contrast. I did several test runs to get the size just right for the very small onesie. Next, I printed the images on my transperancies. I cut the images apart so that I could get maximum use of my 220 screen.
