Exploring Surface Design: More Screen Printing

Here are some more samples from the Wednesday evening class. These prints were created with screens made with torn or cut freezer paper designs.

I also brought in a screen I made using blue glue gel, an idea I got from Rayna Gillman's book, Create Your Own Hand-Printed Cloth. I highly recommend that you add this book to your surface design library.

On a personal note: I got a chance to visit Tybee Island again. What a glorious day! My brother, Jeff, his girlfriend, Robbin and I spent an hour floating and body surfing in the clear, 76 degree water...it was heaven!
