screen prints


Well Ive had a very busy summer creating lots of things and have found a new love .... oooo no not like that! I have fallen in love with screen printing and thought Id share some of the images I've created... screen printing adds a lovely quality to the image and you're never quite sure how they'll work out ~ the image below is made of 5 different elements! The vintage wall paper image, the rose, the cup cake and tattoo font and ofcourse I had to include a bird. The screens are made using photo emulsion and exposing the images to UV light and like magic the images appear ~ there is a little more to it than that but it really is amazing


three colour screen prints

To put the images here I've photographed them but they look alot better in real life ~ its been great fun and great to use some of my doodles from other times ~ dreaming of Australia :)

If any one would like to purchase one the screen prints the prices are really reasonable for the time involved and of course they are all original and hand done by me! Ive also printed some bags and cant wait to finish them, be back soon ~ Judy x

They really are gorgeous prints Judy, full of your wonderful designs. You've certainly got the knack for screenprinting and image placement too. I tried screen printing at college but I didn't really like doing it. Will look forward to seing your bags too when they are done

Best wishes, Carolyn

Well I'm having that gorgeous owl! I have a frame the perfect size for him. Its lovely to find a new (safe) love, isn't it? (My latest is modelling paste on wood!)
You definitely have a talent for this Judy.

Really lovely! Screen printing is on my list of things to learn, do you have a set-up at home or are you using other facilities?
