I decided to learn how to do basic screen printing, primarily in order to make the baby some cute little shirts and onesies. After spending the better part of a day learning what I could from art store sites and how-to videos on You Tube, I decided against getting involved with the photo emulsion technique, at least for now. The designs I have in mind will be pretty straight forward and I think it will be more fun to just paint them on my screen by hand. I decided to get myself started with a basic fabric screen print kit by Speedball. I have completed the first step which involved washing the screen, now I’m waiting for it to dry. I stopped by American Apparel this morning and picked up a few basic baby items to print. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. 

I had it in my head I was going to get more done on this project today, but since I’m so freaking pregnant all I was able muster was opening the box, rinsing the screen, then taking a nap. Tomorrow is a new day!
