Silk Screening

     Silkscreening is an alternative process that I have had some experience with during my middle school art program. The only difference being that I used drawings and different techniques to create those silk screens, and this was the first time that I used emulsion and one of my own pictures to make a screen. This project wants us to say something with our work, and so I chose to use a photo that is close to my heart. I chose a picture of me and my two favorite girls in the world; my mom and sister. I lost my mom at a young age and my sister and I have been best friends since day one of my existance. I always keep them close to my heart and so I figured a t-shirt would be a good way to do, literally, just that. I gave the t-shirt to my sister as a gift after it was done because I knew she would love to have something like that as we both miss our mom very much every day, and I know we miss each other like crazy whenever she is at school. It's also kind of cool that the shirt I used is a mint green colour and my mom's favorite icecream was mint chocolate chip (just sayin'!).
