Sometimes when I'm done and have clear (no soda ash added) print paste left, I divide it up into into a few yogurt cups, add a bit of dye powder and reload the screens for another go... so addictive.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095809082494749979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-49459952551071038872012-03-05T19:47:42.649-05:002012-03-05T19:47:42.649-05:00I never truly understood what deconstructed screen...I never truly understood what deconstructed screen printing was until I read this tutorial.

Using a wire whisk or a blender is a great help.

Thick SH is a thicker, more viscose, print ...Sandy. Thick SH is a thicker, more viscose, print paste that is offered by ProChemical and Dye in the US. You use less to get the same result. The two things you can do with the fabric is pre-soak it in soda ash and allow it to air dry OR add soda ash directly to the print paste (regular or thick SH). You NEED the soda ash to make the chemical bond between the Fibers of the cloth and the molecules of dye. If I am not being clear or not understanding your question correctly, email me back,OK?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095809082494749979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-90309040076984768012012-03-01T12:52:01.359-05:002012-03-01T12:52:01.359-05:00Great tutorial, great examples, great inspiration....Great tutorial, great examples, great inspiration. Im excited to get started. I mixed up my print paste this morning. I have never used print paste before and only had PRO Print Paste Mix SH from PRO Chem on hand. I hope it will be ok to use. What you have seems to be much easier to deal with. For just a cup of the Print Paste Mix I had to put in 5 1/2 tablespoons of the paste mix (as per their jnstructions). That's a lot of tablespoons when dealing with a quart!Quilter Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692414632379402401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-37503062854415657042012-03-01T12:36:32.846-05:002012-03-01T12:36:32.846-05:00Hi,

When you have your thickened dye out and you've cleaned your screens, I just jump right back in and re-set them up for another round. Is their a 12 step program for deconstructed screen printing??Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095809082494749979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-25379042433743997172012-03-01T10:24:27.307-05:002012-03-01T10:24:27.307-05:00I'm sure you know that you wrote a comprehensi...I'm sure you know that you wrote a comprehensive tutorial; but FYI, I just printed it off and it was: <br /><br />::drumroll::<br /><br />SIXTY FOUR PAGES (!!!!!)<br /><br />Go Beth! :)Kit Langhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918043609898327487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-74828009149315675922012-03-01T09:46:59.113-05:002012-03-01T09:46:59.113-05:00Great tutorial, Beth.

And since alginate is a resist, I sometimes paint into the fabric with liquid dye to add color without having it change the color of the thickened dye on the fabric.<br /><br />You can dry your screens with a hair dryer if you are in a hurry (I live in very humid NJ) and I don't have room in my studio to batch, so I hang it to dry with a fan on it and then steam. While you don't have to steam with MX dyes, it makes a big difference in the vividness of the final fabric.<br /><br />We all have our variations and whatever works is great!
