I love
silk screening and have had visions of
having my own
silk screening company and making wonderful shirts and such for the masses.
I envy the Smoking Lily in Victoria and I love all her stuff.
So when I discovered this idea for kid friendly
silk screening, that I can do in the house in a day, I was thrilled.
First you trace a picture with a pencil crayon onto a sheer curtain that is inset in a
embroidery hoop.

Then you use
Modge Podge as a resist and paint it everywhere you do not want paint to come through.

When it dries check that it has no holes and touch up if necessary.
This dried in about 4 hours when sat by the
wood stove, but overnight would be a safe bet.

Once dried you have a wonderful screen to work with.
It is hard and you are able to reuse it when finished for future projects.

Take fabric paint and using a firm brush tab it on and then scrap off with a putty knife.
Lift off screen gently while holding fabric down.
Voila.

I have so many ideas for this that I can barely contain myself.
Bikes and skulls and birds and and and and and .........
Gifts and pillows and bags and and and and and .....
But tonight I am sewing up a storm.
Show you that tomorrow.
