Silkscreen Tee Shirt
I often wear tee shirts, and almost all of my shirts have no logo or design on them at all. Usually, that’s the way I like it. However, I’ve been toying with the idea of having a design on my...

Silkscreen cards
After I finished silkscreening my tee shirts, I wanted to see if I could use blockprinting ink on the silkscreen. I had to wash the silkscreening ink off, and it specifically said that you mustn’t...

Silkscreened shirts
I made a new silkscreen of a nearly identical crow this week. Today I silkscreened them on to my remaining tee shirts. I think I have a lot of tee shirts. After this, I was supposed to iron them for...

Embossed Mug
I didn’t feel much like throwing this class session, so I decided to try some alternative pottery ideas. This is one of them. My friend had some plastic embossing strips for ceramic artists, and she...

Tee Shirt Crows
This is kind of a weird picture, because it’s a selection of the tee shirts that I silkscreened my crow onto. I’ll post pictures of the crow later, a close up and some cards that I did. This is...

Proof Print Crows
Once I finished the silk screen, I wanted to do a proof print to see how it turned out. I use block printing ink for this, as I have a lot of it in different colors. Since I didn’t want to do it for...

Tee shirt print, wings
I got this idea from a woman who had wings on the back of her tee shirt. It was one of those currently-popular Victoriana/skateboard style of designs. I don’t know what it’s called, but here are some...

Wing Close up
So here’s the detail of the wings that I printed using the photo emulsion technique. I took the silk screen and poured a bead of photo emulsion liquid on it, and used the squeegie to put an even layer...

Silkscreen crow close up
Here’s the close up of the new crow image. This is the third crow design, fourth, if you count the one that didn’t turn out. As you can see, I painted back in some of the details with a brush, since...

Four Color Silkscreen
My sister-in-law gave me a silkscreening kit that included this generously sized silkscreen frame. Since I don’t usually do art this large, I decided to use the screen for four different shots so that...

Crow Charm Book
I’d had three half-finished book covers waiting around for a long time, probably a year or more, and never gotten around to finishing them. Partly it was a lack of time, and partly it was because I...

I made this postcard, as the other, with a stencil and some modeling paste and a pre-made postcard ground with black on one side and paler paper glued to the other. After I did it, I let it dry and...

This one was meant to be more detailed, as it’s just a simple monoprint with gold paint over some gold and purple scrapbook paper (you can see the trailing line of dots–the theme was fairy tales.) I...

Here’s another bird drawing that I did while on the phone. I sketched it with the pen I usually write with, my favorite uniball vision elite, and when I got home I finished inking it in with a brush...

This is one of my favorite postcard monoprints. I can’t remember how I even got this particular pattern with the mandala stencil, but I do know that this is the same stencil I used on the book cover....

These are two more of my mandala monoprints. You’ve seen this radially symmetrical pattern a lot if you’ve been keeping up with my posts and pins, simply because it’s one of my favorite stencils. I put...
