If we look at this as a workshop, instead of me and my mom fooling around and having fun, day two of the workshop is finished. Day one was making and prepping the screens and printing surfaces. Day two was actually printing. Day three will be mom washing out the dye from the fabric and sending the fabric to me and me going “oooooooooh, that turned out waaaay (better/worse) than I thought!” – which will actually take more than one day. But so is day two – I am going back over for a little more pulling. Not all day again, just a few hours.

So here is one of my screens prepped with dye for doing deconstructed screenprinting:

This looks boring now, but it actually pulled really cool. We discovered that the screens which looked more like a Jackson Pollock painting or a Mondrian or some other abstract design worked best.

Here is one I did using a circular screen with a soy wax resist – no deconstructed techniques:

This screen needed a LOT less dye than I thought, so the image looks really dark to me, but it may lighten up after washing.

Overall this was fun, but I think I will hold final judgment until I see the finished fabric.
