Get The TechniqueToday's guest post comes from Lena Corwin:
"I made this valentine using tape as a stencil on a small silk screen. I love bright red ink on natural colored linen. The motif was fun and spontaneous. I like the idea of giving a cut of fabric as a valentine "card" instead of paper."
We used the attached clip-art to make our own stencil of Lena's design - see below!

I like the idea of playing with fabric, it really does change things up. I've been placing some of my art work onto fabric by using iron transfers recently (http://bit.ly/AnufOT).
I would like to know more about the silk screen process. What kind of ink is that?
