forrest gump – the real deal: silkscreen


today was quite an exciting yet nerve wrecking day for us. exciting because we finally had a chance at silkscreen, nerve wrecking because we only have one totebag so we cant mess it up.

being the kiasu me, i took about 20+ tries silkscreening my print on paper before doing it on the real deal- THE totebag.

it was quite a stressful process for me because the results were literally based on your luck. my print has lots of fine details, so screening it with lots of ink will ruin the outcome and details. and when i tried with with lesser ink, some part will not be screened and thats another fail.

throughout the whole process i was really afraid the details wont show because they are really fine, but to my surprise, it turned out really well on fabric! i conclude that you need more ink when printing on fabric because of its material.

yay! glad they turned out well and the process went smoothly. so happy to see clear details!
