Completed Designs



Screen Printing near completion!

The final screen after being used. A more opaque ink and as you can see dried very quickly so we had to work like the clappers!
A close up of the hand prints.
Correct angle, constant pressure, enough ink...wallahhh!
As time consuming as the preparation is...it all comes together when printing several shirts at once. Making sure they are printed efficiently to stop the ink from drying out.

Screen Printing is under way!

Fail to prepare...prepare to fail!
Although the preparation is fairly time consuming, it is well worth it when it comes to printing them and getting it right (or as close as we need with handmade products!)
Prepared to print! This is when I fully understood how screen printing works, and the wonders of single colour prints. Never mind! Live and learn.
