Deconstructed Screen Printing.....the last of the screens

I had deconstructed screen prints batching

 the last few days so I rinsed them out today:

 At this point, they have been rinsed out in the sink...

 They are soaking wet hanging on the flower bed fence...

 they will look much different after a 

HOT machine washing...

 The finer details of the printing show up

better when they come out of the dryer.

This is what the screen looked like

BEFORE the printing:

The texture on this screen was created with a plastic

mesh screen and plastic wrap scrunched up and pressed on top.

Below are the printed images on cloth:

 All of the fabric images have been washed and dryed

at this point...

I used clear thickened print paste only.

No dye added.

This is the next screen before printing:

The texture on this screen was created with corrugated

cardboard and bubble wrap

Here are the printed images on fabric:

This is the next screen before printing:

The texture on this screen was created with a coffee cup cardboard

sleeve and plastic tubing

These are the prints on fabric:

This is the screen BEFORE printing:

The texture on this screen was created with round non-slip rubber

rings for the bath tub, metal hooks, paper clips, soda can tabs

These are the printed images on fabric:

I don't have the BEFORE screen for these

images on fabric:

This is the screen BEFORE printing:

The texture on this screen was made with a plastic grate 

used in a food smoker.

These are the printed images on fabric:

I don't have the BEFORE screen image:

These are the images printed on fabric:

This is the screen BEFORE printing:

The texture on this screen was created with a metal

screen tray used in a BBQ.

These are the images printed on fabric:

I printed 9 Deconstructed screens on about

4 yards of cotton fabric...

I get excited over the unknown...

You never know what a deconstructed screen

is going to produce until you take the 
printed fabric out of the dryer!
