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!

What's Happenin' In Exploring Surface Design

Keith Ryder and Acoatzin Torres: Lutradur screen

Last night, was class number six for my Exploring Surface Design class. The evening was spent silk screening a la Jane Dunnewold's improvisational silk screening. The focus was on cut and torn freezer paper designs and my take on Jane's interfacing technique...using Lutradur.

Here are some of the fabrics created in class using the Lutradur screens:

The colored pencil drawing of Mom's hamsa is complete. I've brought along the stitched one to work on here in Savannah.
