My t is for tap dance screen
My ink and squeegees posing against a cozy winter backdrop
Mixing the pink ink
Taping the screen
(to block out the areas which you don't want to show up on your print)
Doing the first pass
Layer one flower fabric
Inking for the second pass
Ta da! Print with 2nd layer
Experimenting with an orange skirt
Inking the screen with blue
Ta da again!
I was able to finally carve out some time on the weekend to begin work on my new t is for tapdance print. It is the next in my alphabet series which includes n is for novel, m is for mask and s is for swing.
Above I've included photos of the whole inky process. It was very snowy last weekend which made the screening an extra cozy experience.
Note: I'm still in the experimental stage of creation and have not settled on colours for my final edition of prints. I'll be asking for reader input on this. Stay tuned!
