For the second type of printing you do need a screen, but just a good old blank screen, nothing too flash
I brought this paper cut out called 'Lace Cardstock', I think its for scrapbookers, but they come in very well cut designs and are great as stencils
so tape the card to the back of your screen
and use as you would normal screen printing, I havent done over lapping on this one, just blocks
the results are great, so crisp and precise
Yay for education!!
I printed 8.. hhmm wonder what they will be
after printing squares I tape over most of the card but leave this design
and print 4 of these.. now that all my printing with this card is done the card is wrecked so just has to be ripped off the screen and thrown away, but they are so cheap its ok. the longer the paint stays on the card the wetter it gets and starts to wrinkle too so you have an hour tops to print with a paper or card stencil
and here is my beautiful model once again with the hoodies we made, the blocks became the sleeves
and the oval print on the front
and hoods for cold winter ears, I made the sleeves shorter because kids always have wet sleeve end in winter from playing which makes you have to take off the whole hoodie, short sleeves not wetness!
so Im a problem solver too!
anyone feeling a printing bug yet????
