Mouth

I wanted to achieve an effect where by looking through either red or blue colored plastic the layers of the picture separate also when looks through both colors the picture becomes 3D... So I screen printed first mouth (blueish) and then x ray of my teeth (red) over it. The outcome looks a bit weird but it works!

EDDIE VEDDER SCREEN PRINTING

Major project done tick....school finished tick....time for things I had no time before....My best friend was having b'day so I made her A2 poster of Eddie Vedder. Knowing that she really likes him ( so do I) and going to his concert in Hyde park the present didn't need much thinking. I used oil based paint for the background and screen printed white bitmap image over it.

Saturday fun extension

In January I draw a face of a girl (Saturday fun) and now I wanted to screen print it. So I went down to the studio and tried it. It was my first screen printing after an induction so was very new and exciting. First I tried it in orange but because I did not wash the screen properly it was not printing well so I washed it and tried a green color and it came out really nice I think ;o)..

Collage extension...hard day!

Well our next project I would say a holiday project is called a collage extension project..We had to choose one collage out out those 100 we made at the beginning of the year and find a way to extend in. I have chosen screen printing but I tell you even thought I had a good idea the work didn't go as well as expected and because they shut for the holiday there is no way I could go back and finish it meehhhhh meeeehh.....so hello scissor and glue?

my chosen collage

2 days at the studio:

Ohhh my God today was the hardest day of screen printing for me.. Well must mentioned that i did print a previous day and also was getting stuff ready for today. Everything started pretty well I printed nice cool pattern it look good and I was happy with the outcome.. the mystery begun when I wanted to print on it. The inks did not like each other. I could not print with others colors on it. I played around for about 3 hours yeah 3 hours of hard washing exposing and trying managed to wreck my screen and nobody knew why the print is not printing...I just wanted to scream!I ended up using a brush at the end ....it took me a long time to brush the paint all over it.....and than i was printing another image and another image the ink was lots of time transparent so I found out myself by the sink all the time washing and washing the screen..time went quickly I had no food all day and whats more I did not managed to finish it. So DISAPPOINTED but I ll try to finish it at home somehow. Cut and paste? Anyway I'm pretty excited about the exhibition even thought I cant attend it as it is happening on wed I think which is my work day ;o(
