Screen printing ideas
If you are looking for ideas for screen printing, Lynn Krawczyk from Smudged Textile Studio (http://smudgedtextilesstudio.com/) explores this technique in her "52 Screen Printed Squares" project on her blog (http://smudgedtextilesstudio.com/52-screen-printed-squares/).
Each Monday she posts a small square she has created using a screen printed design. She describes the fabric, paint and other equipment she has used. To date she has used thermofax screens, but the techniques are also obviously applicable to silkscreens.
What is especially interesting is the way she uses different colours, and the ways in which she layers the colours. If you are looking for some great ways to extend the techniques you use, this blog may give you some ideas.
