Wednesday morning we started our screen printing, which was quite exciting as i had neevr done anything like this before, we also had a god range of colours aswell.
i started without the frame and just a fine paint brush, it was going well untill i realised i ahd to much paint on my brsh so it was bleeding through the stencil and on to bits of the t-shirt it shouldn't, i caried on to finish tha partiualr stencil, once i had finished it i took off he sencil and realised what had happened you couldnt even read that it said DISCOUNT it ended up looking more like biscuit, i used this as a rough copy t-shirt and pracised he rest of my stencils on this t-shirt to see how they would turn out they all did the same.
I then came up with the idea of spray painting my stencils on to my t-shirt as it would deffinately come out and hopefully look good, however the only down fall was that i only had a colour selection of 3 including black and the other colours were red and yellow so i couldn't use my original colour idea but in these circumstances i had to use whatever i could get. The weathe didnt help my situation especially when the spray paining had to be dne outside and it was spitting with rain and very windy, i started to spray paint my stencils on and the paint went slightly on to the side of my t-shirt but that wasn't the biggest problem, i accidentally put on one of my main stencils backwards and it wasnt readable. There wasn't alot i could do about this in the end so i ended up going back to the screen printing idea and screen printing the 20% stencil which is the one i spray printed on backwards. I painted it on in a nice bold colour so that it was visible.
To conclude screen printing, i think that i works for some and not others, however if its done he right way it should work.
