Mirrors: Silkscreen

Unfortunately, I forgot to take photographs during the silk screening process. But here are some photos of the final product(s)–

The first print on the tote bag didn’t work out because I followed the instructions of putting coins under the silkscreen. It didn’t really work very well for me because my design was very detailed, so having that little gap between the screen and the printing surface causes the ink to pool between that gap and smear when the squeegee pressed upon the surface.

Printing again, without the coins – more details are preserved.

Printing again – but I forgot to wash my screen so everything came out a bit splotchy and smeared out. Always wash your screen, kids.
