New Screen Printing kit!- Failed attempt No1.



I recently purchased a home screen printing kit, I have been waiting to use it for a while and even built a hinged bed so I can hold the screen in place and print on my own. I don't have the facilities for exposing photo emulsion as yet, so I created my first print using screen drawing fluid and screen block. This was trickier to use than i anticipated and ended up putting the screen block on waaaaay to thick! As a result my image did not some out very well, and a lot of the detail was missing, bum.  Now I am just looking forward to creating my next print....wahoo!

its a system 3 one which i got from amazon for about £50, so far its great!-I still need some practice with the drawing fluid and screen block, and i might buy some photo emulsion soon, but right now its brilliant!
