I've been pouring out lots of red ink lately crafting all of my Valentine's shirts and decorations. So far, I've screen printed several shirts, tea towels, tic-tac-toe favors and a pillow. What projects are you working on for Valentine's Day?⁠

I ♥️ photography. It's always been one of my favorite hobbies. I drive my kids (and husband) crazy by bringing my camera along wherever we go! 📷 ⁠
⁠
In high school, I took a photography class and was hooked! I setup a dark room in my bathroom at home and developed black and white photos. ⁠
⁠
Naturally, one of my favorite parts about sharing my projects with you is taking the photos. ⁠
⁠
I've had several requests recently to see more of my photography setup. Today in my stories I'm sharing a little behind the scenes peek of me taking this photo. ♥️📷 ⁠

How do you screen print designs where the colors overlap or touch? 🎥 Here are 2 methods to try depending on the effect you are going for. Swipe 👉🏻 to see both videos and a comparison of each method.⁠

Fabric Ink vs. Acrylic Ink⁠
⁠
I use these 2 different types of water-based ink for all of my screen printing projects. ⁠
⁠
Fabric ink is for⁠
🌟 t-shirts⁠
🌟 tote bags⁠
🌟 koozies⁠
🌟 basically anything fabric⁠
⁠
Acrylic ink works best on ⁠
🌟 paper bags⁠
🌟 party napkins⁠
🌟 wood⁠
🌟 cardstock⁠
⁠
Main difference? Fabric ink needs to be heat set to make it permanent so it will hold up in the wash. Acrylic ink dries permanent and does not need heat to cure it. I have found that the acrylic ink stays on napkins and paper even if it gets wet! But, don't try acrylic ink on t-shirts.. it doesn't hold up in the wash...speaking from experience 🤦🏻‍♀️ Double check the symbol on your jar, fabric ink has the t-shirt icon and acrylic ink has the paper icon.⁠
