Roses - screen print shirt

[ha1flosse]

i'm still experimenting with screen printing and recently did a couple of roses on a shirt.

1) cut - template with inkscape:



2) printing mask, cutted with a standard cut plotter:



3) layered screen print, from green to red to pink:

Nice!

Your blog looks nice.  I have to say that I miss the cartoons.  Ooohh, I see.  The cartoons are still on a subdomain.  Whew!

ha1flosse, how durable are these? And what kind of plotter is it that can cut through that ... cardboard, I assume?

Btw., I plan to wear your T-shirt at least once during the hackfest

(Do you have any suggestions how I could make the stitched parts be less scratchy on the backside?)

they are pretty durable. i've washed other printed shirts with the same colors 20 - 30 times at 40° without any issues, so i'd say it's durable like the industry standard people are used to buying a printed shirt.

i think it's kind of a photo paper about 120g-160g/m², cutted with the silhouette cameo 3 plotter.

i'm glad to read you are planning to wear the tucan - shirt during the event but you really don't have to if you don't feel comfortable with it. maybe ironing a cotton fleece on the backside would help, but it would be really stiff and maybe doesn't look good. i've been reading a lot about people who have problems with embroidered shirts because of the itchy backside, so i think to screen print is a better way to put art on sheer textiles like shirts. in all cases the result should be a wearable, comfortable clothing - such itchy backsides are not.

Thanks I might just put another shirt below, if it's not going to be too warm. I really like it, and I would be sad if I couldn't show it

Hahhhhaha!  I was trying to figure out how you got stitching on your backside, because I was pretty sure it was a tshirt you got from haflosse.  But finally I realized you meant the back side of the tshirt!

What about wearing a camisole under the tshirt?

[ha1flosse]

i like the tucans too! i made a sweatshirt with them a while ago and it's still one of my favourites.

a camisole is a nice idea, not too warm if it's getting hot on the hackfest!

:-) I think I diverted discussion a bit too much from the roses... Thanks for the suggestion, Brynn ;-) (maybe 'inside' would have been better than 'backside')
