2nd ALTERNATIVE PROCESSSSSSSSS!

I really LOVED how this process turned out, it was just awesome and funky and... nyuuuuuuuuuugh. I decided to use a shot of buildings I took in Toronto. I thought it would make a really interesting print. When I was making the print I actually had no clue what I was going to put the print on. It wasn't until the day I was exposing my photo that I decided to put it on a shirt that already had a design of a urban setting.

To make the silk screen, I first printed out an acetate of the photo I wanted. When I was in the library I noticed that the buildings alone would be a little boring so I decided to throw the planet earth into the picture, made it look better I think. I then placed them under the screen and flipped the switch, waited 6 minutes and scrubbed like crazy for around 45 minutes. Of course this was all after the creating and painting of the silk screen which was a pain because it stuck to the bottom of the dark room cupboard and was a mission to get out...

When I was printing onto sheets of paper to check my design out, I noticed that one solid colour wasn't that awesome, so I threw some red in there. It was pretty cool and looked even better on the shirt. I was a little disappointed because I got a small drop of red fabric paint of the side of the shirt and forgot to put some spot remover on it and only iron the design. So now I have a silly little line on the side but it doesn't really matter.

All in all it was a pretty awesome silk screen and if I find the time I would like to print onto more shirts! Because Ms Zannini said that she might steal the one I made...
