I have introduced a new spring colourway for my siesta cushions and sardana screenprint, a lovely fresh periwinkle blue and chocolate. The white linen cushion is in my shops now and the print will follow soon.
I love this color combo so much! I've been dabbling in screen printing recently.Nothing as sophisticated as this, but I keep having trouble with my blocked out areas (white parts) being filled with ink. Any suggestions? Thanks,
Stacie - could be that your white areas are a bit too fine in detail or your ink is a bit too thick. I sometimes have trouble with ink blocking the areas in summer when it is warm, the ink just dries in the screen, the trick is to work fast, and don't attempt to print too many pieces at one time. Better to wash up and start again if it starts to dry. Hope that helps.
