I have laid out some of the finished prints for this photo. I particularly like

| purple |
the green and the purple ones. The green ones have a real Arts and Crafts look. And I have always loved purple. So here is a photo with the fourth color. On most of the green backgrounds I printed just a touch of iridescent green. I mixed Citrine and Blue Topaz
Speedball Opaque Iridescent Ink to get an iridescent green that I love. On all of the other prints I used Metallic Copper
Jacquard Screen Printing Ink. I had to add water to the Jacquard ink as it was very thick.
I have another photo on the right of the screen that shows all of the layers that went into making this print. I put it on my light box to take the photo. The open yellow areas are where the 4th color was printed
Below, I show how I painted drawing fluid to make the stencil for the iridescent and metallic colors.

what a cool, beautiful, series, dorothy. print onto actual clay tile, and you'll make a mint. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI agree, but printing onto clay is so very different from printing onto paper. There is so much to learn about the glazes, firing, mesh, size etc.
