Had a friend teach me how to screen print. He was generous enough to let me borrow his equipment. What started with a casual doodle ended up being a sweet t-shirt design. I used Illustrator to make the vectors then converted it into an AutoCAD drawing file. I had the designs laser cut so that they would come out clean, and I could have multiple masks. Nota bene, it's easier when there's someone helping you. Especially since I have so little arm strength and dexterity, it was awesome when someone could help me keep the screen flat on the shirt. I used chipboard for a preliminary first screen test, then I moved onto the t-shirts. Did it in Versatex Copper Screen Fabric Paint and did a second run with Versatex Pearl Screen Fabric Paint.
