using dirty squegee


used the same unwashed squegee for the purple print as I did with the first red print...so red was drawn into purple.

green house print


overused the squeegee here so paper tore - back to the drawing(printing) board

glue screen house


Pretty happy with this print - from my glue screen - love the coathanger windows in my studio - and the organic vegetation in front in comparison with the horizontal lines of the weather board...

glue screen print of staircase and cyclists


I used a less fine material for the screen here so the image turned out almost pixelated - have decided I prefer the finer textile for the screen...more detail attainable

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
