Here are the results of my silk screening project. I gave some sets like these away for Christmas presents before I took any photos. Then I made another set for myself plus a few extras. I have lots of leftover prints which I thought I would give away to quilter friends.I decided I liked the prints better on fabrics which were printed with an allover large scale print. I only had a couple of small upholstery samples, so off to the fabric store for some printed canvas.
Not all of the words showed up well do to the problems I had developing the screen, and a few of the details have been lost from my design. But overall, I think it was a successful project and a good learning experience. I may opt to cut stencils or get thermofax stencils made for future screening projects.Go to Off the Wall Friday to see what others have been up to this week. There are some great things up there already.

I rather like the fading in and out of the words. Love the concept...and like LeeAnna, I am a cow collector. Only it got too many to count and I don't dust, so I have thinned them down to a very few.

These are great! The subtle background prints add an interesting layer, and I prefer the irregular words - it keeps me from obsessively reading them over and over and over again...
