yes: it has been almost one year since my last posting… just thought i would acknowledge that before i went on with this one.
anyway, ja + i built a silk screening station in the basement earlier this summer.
i am not the greatest at documenting exciting events as they happen, so i have no photographic evidence of our process. just some of the results.
our first print ever –
some overexposed lines, but that’s okay ’cause we didn’t know what we were doing yet. plus we were just too excited, we just wanted to screen print something.
our first print on fabric (a request from my brother, rain) –
the first attempt was of a drawing called “sama sama” – a design consisting of fine lines, which made it a bit more difficult to perfect the print. overexposure / more missed lines.
we realize that we just have to adjust the exposure time to avoid making the same mistake.
but it’s okay, ’cause we still don’t know what we’re doing! and that’s the fun part : )
this is trial-and-error. we remain optimistic as perfection will come soon.
