As well as fabric to print, on Wednesday I brought in coloured papers to use with a new set of screens ... back to the original type of lines -
Yellows and reds on dark and light grey paper - in fact on the back of the sheets I'd printed last week -
(Learning point: mix the colours before, not on, the screen.)The other screen has quite a bit of writing; here it is printed on fabric -
Oops that's a badly printed bit of yellow ... when I use that fabric, the messy bit can be filled in with lines of stitching, or appliqued over, or cut away. It's so much more "flexible" to print fabric-that-will-be-cut-up than it is to make a "proper" screen (or other) print, which requires a lot of skill and care. Not that I don't try to get a perfect result, of course ... but even after several weeks of doing this, I'm still learning.
More backing sheets with odd bits printed on them ... these have potential ...
