The Second Color

 The second color printed
The photo on the left shows the first and second colors printed. I had to let the yellow that is over the green dry and print them again to get the intense yellow that I wanted. Yellow is very translucent and will not easily cover a dark color. I printed all of the rest in two shades of an orange/tan. It looks completely different over the yellow from those printed on blue. I printed a few without the first color onto fawn Stonehenge paper.

The two photos below show how I created the second stencil within the same stencil that I used to print the first.

    Dorothy, I did know know that you use Dick Blick inks. Are they also fabric inks? Do they mix colorwise as well? I can't wait to see the next step.

      Yes, they are Textile inks. I think they are really Speedball with the Blick name on them.
