tutorial

I made a sample tie from a piece of the printed cotton (printed from a painted open screen) to take to yesterday's tutorial.   It was well received and I have decided to focus on ties ... which will all display some text in support of feminism.... maybe a label; a screen printed word or a digitally printed design with text.  Nick suggested 50 ties for the exhibition.  They could be hung in a row - like railings.        

I need to
- list text for the ties. 
- design digital print ties
- prepare designs for screen printing
- print using an open screen

I also wanted to talk about craftivism and the possibility of having an event as part of my project - possibly at the Final Show.  I am going to have a practice craftivist event then make a proposal which will be considered for the final show.

Today I spent time printing from an open screen.  The design on the right was printed onto linen.   The print onto dyed lawn cotton was less successful because the background had been dyed too dark.
