So still playing with my new thermofax screens. I have a stack of papers that I just keep layering with more textural images. This one has 2 noticeable screen designs and the wonderful watery marks come from “cleaning” the screen. Linda Branch Dunn said, “you paid for the ink, so why throw it down the drain.” So to print all the ink, she showed us how to spritz the inked side of the screen with water and print the ink here and there on our paper or fabric. As I do it I think what an ugly mess, but then I come back in a day or two and find the ink has dried in an interesting way. Happy Printing!
Very clever idea about the spritzing. Thanks for sharing it.
i know. Right!
This is gorgeous! I’m sure if I just kept layering I’d end up with a muddy mess.
well you know I don’t show you the muddy mess. 🙂 And some time I can keep going and transform the darkness into something interesting again. Go for it!
