Leslie gave me a starter screen printing kit, so I have no excuse not to print hundreds and hundreds of my unique pieces for all my readers. Heh. And now the learning curve…

Oops. Busy bunnies…

First pull. Used a stencil I cut out by hand. Not so bad for such an easy method…

Screen bunny Part 1 #todaysbunny

This bunny will be my first attempt at photo emulsion print.

This original is based on a pencil sketch that I traced lightly on tracing paper. Then I inked it on the tracing paper and then inked the reverse to get a solid black.

Screen bunny part 2!

The exposed image…

I exposed it using the tracing paper placed over top of a screen that was prepared with Diazo photo emulsion. I placed the tracing paper directly on the screen, covering it with a sheet of clear acrylic and then placed it under (12 inches under) a 250 watt BBA No. 1 Photoflood bulb with a pie tin reflector for 10 minutes.
