Default RE: Lozenge


ORIGINAL: TFF
When I was a kid, the family did block printing Christmas cards each year. My sister and I did the design, and my dad carved the block; it was pretty neat. Block and silkscreen are going to be similar; one block or screen for each color. And in reality the real fabric was done like this except each color was on a different roller kind of like a continuous block. One thing I am after is not having the color on top of the fabric but in the weave. To do this It will probably be on a natural fabric but I hope Koverite will work because I covering with it; also I hope dope wont melt the colors too. I did not mind painting the lozenge, I just want to improve on it.
Hmmm..now THAT'S an interesting idea: A roller! You'd need 4 or 5 rollers and then some kind of "registration track" to keep things lined up.
