I finally got around to trying out my new silk screen design. I had intended to photograph the stages of screen-making, but I forgot. Fortunately, I have more screens planned. No special technology is needed for screen printing. It's all about blocking out negative space; creating a stencil on a screen. The mesh is there to even out the ink distribution.
At first I considered black ink on green. I dabbed some black ink on the inside of the T-shirt and thought the contrast was a bit too subtle for all the detail I'd put into the screen. Why not silver and green? An unusual combination... I think it works. When it dries I'm slapping another lion fish on the back of the T-shirt.
