From Sewing reels to fabric!

This was my favourite technique learnt at my textiles evening class - using photo sensitive emulsion to screen print.
I had to find an image to use on my screen. Now I wanted the fabric to be me so there was no chance of just using an Internet or book image so I went around my house taking loads of photos to be used as an image. This was my favourite:


I then decided to try out some text so typed up a bit of textiles related wording.
Then it was onto the screen:


Prepping up my fabric ready to go!


Then screen printing madly with a range of colours and I absolutely love the result!!


A close up shot of a piece that I then made into something. Check in tomorrow to see the results!
