I am just starting a project using an H dye and sodium alginate mixture for printing. I made screens by rubbing an item with wax in this case I used doilies my grandmother made.to simplify it greatly all you have to do is….. 1. build a screen 2. find something that has a lot of texture like lace 3. place screen on top of item and rub really well with wax; I used a candle. 4. pour a bit of ink, dye or whatever you are using for printing on one end of screen. 5. squeegee across getting it as even as possible. sometimes the unevenness is interesting, I guess in the end it all depends on what you are making.here are some photos of what I worked on.

Very cool…. I got a bunch of handmade lace at the market here and Ive been thinking about trying this. The result you got is beautiful! Your work is developing so nicely and your noose concept great. I love that you are connecting it to past generations through the heredity of the disease and the craft tradition being handed down. You are just brilliant!
