Screen Printed Birds #1

I thought I would try a little screen printing on fabric so I chose to make a few hand towels for friends and family. The design is simple (time was running out!) but still, it took some time and patience. See my process! Here I'm cutting a stencil for the yellow bird, to be printed on the fabric first.
I think screen printing is the most fun of all of the printmaking processes!

  2. If I had more of these, I would love to swap one for a print! I love your work! I'm planning to do some more birds on napkins and on paper soon. I could let you know when I finish them.
    My studio is in a large art center but I love having my own place to work...and my own press!! So grateful. I think yours will be a very special place!!

  3. I'm one of the lucky people to receive a screenprinted towel for my kitchen. It has colored flecks in the background and reminds me of seeing the birds in the snow, except of course the snow wasn't as colorful.
