Screen print
Here we have my screen prints one is a simple print onto white cotton using a bright blue-G3 dye I blue against the white creates a brilliant effect but yet again I felt it was too bright so I wanted to stay with the blue and green theme and dyed a piece of white cotton with green (MX2B) and blue (MX2G) both watered down and I used a black- SN-G dye to print with, I still felt this was too bright but I was more content with it then I was with the white cotton. I wanted to further experiment with screen print so I decided to do a placement print which I did over the top of each other I did one print using green-B and then two others in different positions using the black- SN-G and I kept the cotton white. I love this it's dark exactly what the saying gives, but it mashes the print so you can't see it all too well,the green-B print showed through the black better then I expected, I the decided to do free machining over the green to make it stand out more, even though the tension wasn't perfect on the machine so it left the stitching quite loopy I feel it gives the print something unusual and quite interesting both to the eye and to touch.
