I was inspired after seeing a video at the book of kells exhibition when I was in Dublin last winter. I might have a go now I have seen this tutorial!

Silkscreening is fun! In my experience, I've found the emulsion drying time and the exposure time to be longer than what she describes, and I think there's generally quite a bit of variability there. I also found out (the hard way) that some transparencies block UV light, so that what you get after a regular exposure is a giant 8.5 x 11 rectangle. Good for lecturers, bad for crafters. These transparencies will eventually work, but need to be exposed much longer. (I think I left mine on all afternoon.) That is a very nice tutorial. Silkscreening is fun!
