Thermofax Printing...




I am packing up supplies for the





It was FUN to see all the screens...







I have several new screens...














Versatex Inks.....my favorite for screen printing







My Art Shirts.....I wear them while fabric dyeing,

screen printing, textile painting, etc.







I couldn't resist trying out a new screen

 on one of my art shirts...

This is a custom screen made from one of the 

photographs I took this summer 

of birds in a tree in our yard.







This is printed with 4 different screens...








Yes, more new screens.....FUN







I had 5 art shirts in the pile.....so I kept printing!





























Thermofax Printing is like eating potato chips...

You can't print just one shirt!







Now I have to pick which shirt to wear to class

on Saturday...
