I made it using this photograph I took last September at Potter's Marsh. (uploaded at 25% of the original size). That fake wood stuff has been wonderful for not getting lots of splinters down there, but it sure doesn't look as nice as wood for a photograph!

Dragonfly art for screenprinting
I've got a couple more books I'm going to be reviewing in the next day or two, but I'm taking a short break from reading, being inspired, going to start something, and reading some more to post this piece of black and white art. If you got one of the 99 dollar Yudu machines today at Michaels (oh my.. those 1 day deals have been great all week haven't they? But Michael got me a Yudu for Christmas) or if you do anything that you would use 300 ppi 2 color art for, maybe this will be usefully. It's in gif format because that's the smallest file size in 2 colors. Click on the image for the full sized version, it's 8 inches across at 300 dpi.

Peace symbols
My darling husband totally surprised me with a Yudu machine for Christmas. Honestly, I was expecting a bottle of perfume or possibly a new Nano. But there it was, huge and wonderful.
So while I'm waiting to go to the craft store and get more emulsion sheets and screens for it, I've been working on ideas for the single emulsion sheet and screen that came with it, deciding what to print for that first screen is hard!
One thing I've been wanting is to make more peace symbol shirts. My kids love them, but like me, don't like mass produced shirts. So, this is some of the art I've been working on. It's in GIF format and 2 colors because it's for silk screening eventually. You can use it as you wish. Except you know.. mass producing shirts for very low wages in countries that don't protect human rights. Since it is a 2 color gif, it would be easy to remove the white background and use them for digital stamping. Or print it to color if you wish. My son loves the faux bois effects best so that's in the near future.

I also posted some digital delivery 1 inch circles with peace symbols on them in my Etsy shop.
Here's an example at full size. 300 dpi, on your monitor it will show a bit bigger than it's meant to print!
