Huzzah! Doesn’t this look SOOO much better than the last one? I did get a little overzealous scrubbing the screen and I rubbed some emulsion off the hat area of the gnome on the left. No worries…I learned in the FANTASTIC Peach Berserk Silkscreen Workshop DVD that you can fill holes with an enamel lacquer = nail polish. Got plenty of that around.
I am so pleased…so far so good. Woo-hoo!
HUZZAH! The screen, it has been burned! And there was much rejoicing…
I would suggest using one of the water soluble screen fillers before using nail polish because it will make reclaiming your screen a lot easier down the road. You can brush it on with a fine paint brush for pinhole touch ups and such. Unless of course you are using water-based inks.
Oh darn, I hadn’t thought about how it would affect the reclaiming…and I am using water-based inks. Thanks for the tip…I think I need to find a better solution.
this is amazing! I bought the dvd the first time you mentioned it and I still haven’t silkscreened anything. maybe it is time? I can’t wait to see your finished work and hear more about the process.
