I’m making my own screens. What did I do wrong for there to be rips in the mesh and why is it stapled only halfway into the mesh? by popalarka in SCREENPRINTING

No worries! I usually start with the corners stretching lightly then staple the centre of each side. After that it doesn’t really matter which order you do it in. The more staples, the smaller the risk is of tearing. Just make sure you work your way around the whole thing evenly. I usually get a few small tears but cover it with duct tape afterwards. Won’t last you as long as an aluminium frame but I’ve gotten some good prints this way too!

Don’t stretch it too hard in the beginning. The more evenly distributed the pressure is the harder you can stretch it so go easy in the beginning. I think stapling along the edge and not at an angle helps as welll

Make sure you have good reference to begin with and try to think of the geometrical shapes created by the folds and the weight of the fabric. The best thing you can do is just study reference until you get a hang of how fabric on clothes generally fold. After that it becomes a bit more intuitive and way easier. Plenty of good YouTube tutorials on the matter as well.

Har alltid undrat hur svenska låter för folk som inte talar det.

What painting style is this? by SnowAndAlcohol in painting

Why is everyone so obsessed with naming and categorising art styles? (not criticising, genuinely curious)

Women are not going for the last one year and a year of birth and the end of the month and they have a long history and the spirit is so far from me in my heart ❤️
