My very own thermofax screen play

Wow! I finally have my very own designs on thermofax screens.

The images for thermofax screens need to be high resolution black and white jpgs or pdfs. For the top print I used spools that I stamped with paint. I didn’t want the spools to be perfect so I chose those images that were missing some paint, scanned them in the computer, and then played with them in Photoshop Elements. The other image is just something I drew and scanned into PSE and cleaned up.

Then I emailed those jpgs to my a new friend, Marilyn Fischer, who I met in Shelbyville, Ky at Jane Lafazio’s Sketching and Watercolor Class. Marilyn is now providing thermofax screen service and I will be definitely be ordering more! See bottom of post for Marilyn’s prices and contact info.

So let’s see what I did with them. I printed over some gelli plate printed pieces done awhile back.

If you’d like to have your designs on thermofax screens you can contact Marilyn at fischer515@earthlink.net.

The following prices are for high resolution black and white jpg images ready for her to make into screens:

  • small (4×5 or 5×5) –  $5
  • medium (5×8) – $8
  • large (7 x 10) – $10

If you want your screens duck taped, let her know and she’ll do that for a small charge. She taped one of mine and I taped the other. It’s real easy to do. Shipping is also not included in that price. Email her for more information. She does take paypal.

A gift certificate from Marilyn for your crafty friends would make a great Christmas gifts!

Marilyn, thanks for making those screens for me.

That was so much fun and really easy to do. I have some other ideas for screens that I’d like to try so I’ll be sending more artwork her way!
