Lyric Kinard's new Thermofax 101 DVD + a Giveaway
Have you ever printed with a Thermofax screen? Have you wondered what all the hype among fiber artists is for these printing goodies? My friend Lyric Kinard comes to your rescue with her new one-hour DVD called Thermofax 101. I've had the pleasure of working with Lyric in the past and I can tell you that she is an excellent and patient teacher. She explains things in a very approachable way and this DVD is the next best thing to having her at your elbow while you learn how easy it is to screen print on fabric with a Thermofax screen.
Lyric walks you through the fundamentals of designing imagery for your own screen, getting one created (she lists sources - it's so affordable!), the supplies you'll need, and how to print on fabric. You'll be amazed at how much fun it is and how quickly you can print unique, original fabric, in just the colors and patterns that you want.

Trees. I'd be printing trees if I learned how to use thermofax screens, and do so hope I win this DVD. Lyric is great on camera, and shares so much good information.
I like trees, especially ones with intriguing trunk shapes and taken in winter when the branches are bare.
Would love to have this video,

Hi Jane... love the vintage theme this month, and each artist has taken such a totally different approach... so it is really fun to await the posts while trying to see through the names and try to guess the techniques used. You have pulled three great techniques from your great skills inventory to share in your piece and it is stellar! Thanks for all you do to share the news about new products and special effects.
