Silk Screening Anyone?
Have you been curious about what it would take to try out silk screening on polymer? I can tell you the whole process is relatively simple. You need a few specialty supplies (but who doesn’t like having to get a few new supplies!) and a little practice. Once you get it down it can be quite addictive.
Here are few pins by Karen Woods with lots of silk screening textures to intrigue you.
If you want to look into it further, Polymer Clay Express has both a tutorial posted as well as supplies to get you started.
And our friends over at Polymer Clay Productions have a great video on polymer silk screening with lots of good tips to get you started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJZ8ec8NAko

Thank you for posting my pins. Just a warning!! Silk screening can be very addictive!! I am up to over 180 diff. designs in my library of screens…
You’re welcome Karen! Your silk screening is gorgeous. And I so agree … as a technique in general (I learned silk screening when do fiber art, on fabric and paper) it is all too much fun! 🙂
Sounds like another wonderful thing to learn, I just got a Sixxz ( spelled right I hope) machine and loving all I can do with it and polymer clay.
