New prints from the talented Kate Banazi.

More on her Etsy shop - alyoisius (I'm also loving her shop's tag - SCREENPRINTED MATTERS. Great).

Experimenting ScreenPrinting

Not sure I've already told you that I'm doing a printing course at the moment.
Its mainly aim is to teach textile printing but somehow, at the moment, I enjoy printing on paper much more.
As with everything in my life... I am a bit of a late bloomer and therefore started enjoying the course on the 2 meetings before it ends...
Anyway, I thought I'd share the 2 last prints I've made. Not a fantastic work of art but I have to admit that I really love them both and want to keep experimenting with both screens, maybe try printing them with 2 colors and on different papers and textiles and play with texture a little bit.

The first one, Birds, was printed using a hand-drawn stencil. The second one, Zoro, was printed using a screen coated with emulsion. The original photo is one I've taken more than a year ago when we were in Barcelona while The Man had one of his mustachio periods... (it happens once a year or so...). It was processed into black & white and halftone dot screen.

Would love so much to hear your feedback!
