Peace to YOU day 29 of SEEdrawPrint

Today I made a thermofax screen of the text, Peace to You. I was hoping to print on the back side of some ornaments that I am making.

The screen came out pretty clean and I was able to print clear images on paper, but when I tried to print on the felt the impression was inconsistent. I ended up pushing too much or too little ink through.

I did print a few ornaments hoping that I would get into a rhythm and could get a clear and consistent print but that did not happen so I will just let this idea go for now.

I think the loft of the felt was too inconsistent and the need for the print to be perfect and readable. Sometimes things don’t work out and I have to keep trying new ideas. Just one more day of my #SEEdrawPrint challenge.
