Layers and Layers of Thermofax screen prints

©2012 linda germain screen printing on magazine page

So still playing with my new thermofax screens.   I have a stack of papers that I just keep layering with more textural images.  This one has 2 noticeable  screen designs and the wonderful watery marks come from “cleaning” the screen.  Linda Branch Dunn said, “you paid for the ink, so why throw it down the drain.”  So to print all the ink, she showed us how to spritz the inked side of the screen with water and print the ink here and there on our paper or fabric.  As I do it I think what an ugly mess, but then I come back in a day or two and find the ink has dried in an interesting way.   Happy Printing!

  1. well you know I don’t show you the muddy mess. 🙂 And some time I can keep going and transform the darkness into something interesting again. Go for it!
