MASKING
When working with full designs, use a simple masking stencil to create open areas for overprinting or other media. |
STENCIL IDEAS
A stencil will adhere to the underside of the screen nicely. Freezer paper is sturdy enough PLUS easy to trace on, easy to cut.

TIPS
Place your stencil /mask on the underside of the screen, not the ink side. Run a few prints on test paper to fix it in place. If you feel a need for more adhesion, spray the stencil lightly first with photo-mount, and burnish the edges gently and evenly to the (clean dry) screen. |

inspirations
(as if you need any more ideas) For an exciting start to any project run prints with inks of different colors side-by-side on the screen.
*Print with one color, (say, purple) then offset the design 1/8" and print it again in a color wheel opposite. (sing, orange).
Or overprint with a pastel version of your base color...or a translucent ink
*Explore partial masking: Block the center with a smaller sheet of paper, for a lovely textured border ...mm..pearl ink? Or, mask off positive/negative shapes. Cut your own !Fold, Mark, SNiiiiP! or try ours :~)
Scraps can be used collage-style in other works, to add some harmonic flashes of repeat elements.
