Back in July, I invited some of my winter students who hadn't had a chance to make photo screens to come to my basement and make some photographic screens. They were to bring a screen and their own transparencies. I had gotten a kit from Dick Blick that had all of the necessary components for the photo emulsion. I also had my light box near the laundry tub.
I don't often make photo screens, but I had a few students who really wanted to learn the process. One is my friend Mary, who does paper cuttings. She took her cutting of the Buffalo Light House and had the local printer make a transparency of it for her.
Ann had a transparency made of a pen and ink drawing, Laurie had a t-shirt design that one of her boys had done. Linda had a transparency made of a photo that she had taken. Kristine didn't understand that the transparency could be made from any black and white drawing. She had a long drive to get here and didn't have much luck. She had done her drawing on the transparency stock with a Sharpie pen - it didn't come out very well.
I hate to waste time (and photo emulsion) - so I decided to make a stencil for my 2011 Christmas cards. I had a photo from years ago that I love. It shows our Morning Glory trellis in the back yard in the snow. There is chicken wire around the base to keep the rabbits from eating the tender shoots in the summer time; when it is covered over by the perennials in my garden. The print above is not my Christmas card. I will show that to you soon. My Christmas card was printed in just one color, the print above was printed with four colors.
