Great vid. Two tips for ya, print twice to get a less transparent look. You have that smart frame so getting it to line up perfectly should be cake. Also cutting OUT the letters and letting the ink go into the groves is another look.- less screenprinty and more rustic. Also more fun to carve out vs avoiding the letters, less work as well..

Cheap dollar store craft acrylic paint (the kind that comes in flip top plastic bottles) holds up really well on fabric in this kind of application. I have a few shirts I made over a year ago that have been washed many times and they still look great.

Nice video man! I hope this inspires people to recycle some old shirts and have some DIY fun. Just a little tip that could save you some carving time and ultimately help you get straighter and more controlled lines: Instead of going with gouges from the getgo, use a Hangi To (Japanese Woodblock Carving chisel - They are in every basic set I'm sure you'll have one lying around) to trace your design before using the gouge tool. The Hangi To is sharpened only on one side and that's very important; You need to have the flat side of the blade facing out, towards the part of the linoleum you want to gouge. The angled or chiseled side of the blade should face towards your design. Hold the tool at a 60-ish degree angle and cut along the outline of your design. Once that is done, gouge the part you want to discard with your preferred tool. This ensures straighter lines and keeps the linoleum at the very edge strong so it doesn't wear over time and/or deform under pressure. What you're aiming for is an edge that's slightly slanted outwards.

@DNHandcrafted6 жыл бұрын
+42Fab - Metalworking and Multi-Medium Fabrication thank you & great question. The short answer is no. Screen printing is great. For me it was frustrating I couldn't put my logo on a shirt without ordering a bunch of things for screen printing - and then after several attempts (stencil, DIY screen, etc) it became more of a "I will find a way" - this process still required special tools, but I had the chisels and wood on hand and I actually liked the finished quality (not thick and potentially cracking) That being said, I will still probably do screen printing at some point - but will just use a screen printing ink that isn't as thick as the basic speedball white.

@MsBethharris6 жыл бұрын
You did a great job! Depending upon the ink used (I haven't used the speedball inks - I use mostly Gamblin oil-based etching inks) you might want to use a bit less ink, and just let the ink have a bit more time to penetrate nd absorbe into the fibres before removing the block. Having said that though, I print primarily on paper and usually add the paper to the (face up) block, rather than the block to the paper, but what you did seems to have worked brilliantly, so my motto is "do what works for you" ;-) Thank you for sharing your creativity and results. I will have to give your method a try now.
