Silkscreen


Here is a picture of Sabrina wearing the giraffe sweater that I silkscreened. I chose to do giraffes because I took this picture at the zoo and thought it was really beautiful. It was ideal for silkscreening because we were supposed to do something using 2 different colours, and giraffes have distinct yellow and black markings. The shades in the picture did not vary too much, so when set with only 2 shades it was still very obvious what animal was on the sweater. I used the traditional colours of a giraffe because I wanted it to be very clear that this was the animal I was silkscreening. It was my first time and was not sure how well it was going to turn out. Thankfully, it turned out very well and I lined up the layers almost perfectly. I really love silkscreening  if I do it again, I think I will do a zebra or maybe a building.
