I made a print board from insulation foam, an old wool blanket, vinyl and an old poly-cotton bed sheet.
Ready to go, starting with primary coloured Procion MX dyes.
Working with a newspaper stencil is the 1st technique on
Kerr Grabowski's'
Deconstructed Screen Printing for Fabric and Paper'DVD.The image fuzziness is an example of learning from mistakes. The cloth was too wet when I rolled it up in plastic and left it for 12 hours for the dye molecules to bond. The water encouraged the dye molecules to continue migrating.
More often I would be working for a crisper image but now I know how to make a fuzzy one when I want to.The spots(drips) on this sample show where I learnt the ideal viscosity for the print paste.Both valuable lessons to learn.
