Some stencils Beth used as texture for her screen.
Getting ready to prepare a screen.
Nancy spreading thicken dyes on her screen.
This gives you a better perspective and you can see the texture showing on the screen. The screen has to be totally dry before we could transfer the design onto fabric.

| This is Beth's screen. |
I'm adding thickened print paste to the top of my dried silk screen. Next I scrapped the print paste from top to bottom several times to release the dye. Fabric pre-treated with soda ash is under the screen (that's the white you see next to the screen). It is pinned to a printing surface made of foam board, batting and heavy plastic.
I've lifted up the screen and reapplying more print paste releasing the dye on another area of the fabric.

I added some yellow dye to transfer.

| I'm quite happy with this piece! |

Another fun day of learning a new technique!!! Can't wait to see the printed results from Nancy and Beth!!!
