The Flea Market

 The flea market at Glenmount Elementary went well. It wasn't a huge event but considering the size we got a nice amount of traffic thanks to FB. Here are some of the shirt designs...

From Frumpy to FAB

 This is my plain Jane computer table from Ikea. It's a few years old and has acquired some water swelling spots. I was just tired of looking at the God awful spots... So I had a bright idea to do a little collage and resin project. The first layer of resin absorbed into some of the images and did not completely cover the table. The second layer still stained some of the images (because I didnt seal it well enough) but it completely covered the table. Overall, I'm happy with the end product.

People Get Ready

I will be selling t-shirts at my nephew's elementary school fleas market tomorrow. This will be the first time I set up shop to sell my own design of shirts. I am both excited and anxious. The process of printing the shirts has been an experience of discovery for me as I have employed some new techniques. I believe they will be well received by the public. *crosses fingers*

Here is a glimpse into the process...

First we set the mood with some music...

 Some old screens need to be cleaned...

 A new batch of photo emulsion needs to be mixed... It's very simple. Just fill the small bottle to 3/4 with water and add to the big jar and MIX!

 Apply to the screen. Allow it to dry... Burn a new screen from an image printed on a transparency sheet.

 This is the test run...

 Not perfect but getting there...
