I finally did it
What you see there is my very first silk screen test. I actually gave it a go over the weekend and it wasn’t that bad. I used Speedball’s Photo Emulsion kit and I just followed the instructions. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, especially since I’m only doing one color prints. I so guessed on the timing of the exposure. I gave it 30 minutes under a 65 watt flood light (I couldn’t find a 125 watt flood light (as the instructions suggests) anywhere. So I just had to make do with what I had. One thing, next time I’ll probably expose a tad bid longer when I have a fine line drawing. The actual printing can get a little messy.
Oh this is so cool, the possibilities are endless.

back when i was into stenciling more than i am now, i was gonna get one of those speedball kits, but was a bit intimidated and also thought it’d be too hard. your test, turned out nicely.
