Screen-printed aprons for a wedding
The goal: screen-printed wedding souvenirs for friends of the bride & groom who helped cook the 100-person wedding dinner. And the bride & groom liked the “block print” style of art.
I started pretty last-minute on a busy week, so just had a few evenings to get it done. I started with a pen sketch, scanned it, and inverted the image (I’m under no illusions about my artistic ability or lack thereof):
The bride & groom approved, so from there, I decided to be ridiculous (given the deadline) and carve the design in scratchboard rather than using some sort of Photoshop effects filter I’m sure must exist. It took most of an evening.
From there, the image was scanned and turned into a screen and screen printed aprons, success!
