Screen printing project

My class has been working on screen printing for almost 2 weeks. During these two weeks we have learned to stretch monofilament on stretchers, cover this with emulsion, and print to make creative designs on cloth. My design was a drawing of me by my boyfriend, he gave me this drawing as a Christmas present, and so I decided to make something for him also. I screen printed the image on two ties; one was repeated with different colors. The tie without the multiple prints in different colors was very subtle. This was a very fun project; I think it makes a great gift idea.
