Step 5: PRINTING!!!!! This is the culmination of all the steps we've completed up to now -- finally, after prepping our screen and paper and a million other tiny details that I didn't show you, we get to print our design! Basically, the actual printing step of silkscreening includes laying a thin layer of ink over our screen's image area with a fancy squeegee, and then pressing the squeegee down again even harder to allow the screen to make contact with the paper - which pushes the ink through the open areas of our screen onto the paper to create our print. This is a little snippet of the 4th and final layer/color of this print project! It will be on my website soon if you'd like to collect one, and I was able to bust out a limited edition of 14. Stay tuned for the final big step of the screenprinting process, where I clean up all the prints and make my mark on each piece. Also, I'm too busy to figure out how to flip this boomerang, and too lazy to come up with a better excuse. Oops. I'll be sharing each step of the screenprinting process during my current print project - so follow along!! #homescreen #ScreenAtHome (at Little Five Points)
