Screens are done, mostly. I still have one to paint and screen, but I had to find some of Grannie’s curtains. They are so much better than the ridiculously over priced fabric sold for silk screens. I could spend lots of hours explaining why, but I’d even get bored before too long. I’ve been thinking about ways to add more structure, and maybe a little less abstraction to my deconstructed prints. I like the background texture, but I wanted a way to add detail, focus, a pretty picture…whatever. I put a block print that I am particularly fond of under the screen, pulled it with thickened procion and I have a picture. Haven’t tried to print it yet, but the screen is drying in the back yard, and I have to teach a chain maille class this afternoon. As soon as I can scurry back, I’ll be pulling prints. If I can figure out how, I finished a new piece…it’s the piece I pulled off a loom for the Art and Soul class. Right now I like it.
