the darkness.  And that screen when it’s first made and hasn’t been stained with ink is a just beautiful.</p> <p>I get too attached to my screens.  But this is why I’m a printer, it brings me unrivalled joy.</p> <p>I decided for my press pack hand in to make a hand silk screened press pack.  It was a days extra work but I think it was worth it.</p> <p>The tactility of my CV makes it more crafted, more cared about and speaks about the handcrafted, time taking, personal touch of the maker that craft entails.</p>http://kimsearle.tumblr.com/post/22440883796http://kimsearle.tumblr.com/post/22440883796Sat, 05 May 2012 08:03:22 -0400textile craftscvsilk screenscreen printedexposinghandmadesample
