I kind of like the random print features, bits of thread and fluff that get stuck to the felt. I use an adhesive for some printing jobs, making the felt a bit tacky. I use just a single layer of wool felt on top of my table to print on. It provides the right amount of "give" to get a nice print. I think it's a personal choice, though. Lots of other screen printers swear by a couple of layers or none at all. Anyway, after the felt changing, I printed a custom job - here is a sneak peak ...
More creative spaces at Kootoyoo. Have a lovely Thursday!

I like the sneaky peak! Screen printing looks so much fun..
How interesting. I had no idea that you needed a layer of felt underneath!
The felt looks kind of cool I thought it was an art quilt at first.
Felt underlay definitely means better printing - especially if you have really large screens that may not be totally straight. Nice "artwork".
Can you make something from that felty goodness? I LOVE it.
I didn't know about the felt either - nice to learn something new. Would love to learn to screen print someday..you do such a beautiful job with your designs Nic.
Long time no see :-) I thought it was a quilt too!? ha ha Happy printing.
I was thinking that could be made into something too?
Its interesting with the random prints.
Im loving the felty gorgeousness too!! I do hope you make it in to something xo
Lovely insight into your work process. Might try some felt under my stamping too, see if it changes the effect : )
Love the table - it has character and tells a story.
I do love to look at old screen printing table tops. They end up with the funkiest of patterns.
Hmmm, felt is a great idea. I love the look of it!
love the felty letters! i see Kirsty is eyeing it off already!
Also love the felt - can we frame it as a series and pop it in the shop or husband's gallery? Just a thought....
The blue you have printed with is gorgeous!
Interesting!
I love how crisp and sharp the lettering looks on a good screen print. Your custom job looks like it is coming along nicely:)
