Decontructed Screen Play

I was on a retreat at Quilters Cabin with FiberVoices a few months back and decided to try my hand at deconstructed screen printing.  OMG!   I have never worked so hard or had so much fun.   The metamorphosis of this kind of screen printing is so satisfying.  I am going to try and not get addicted to doing this.  However anyone who enjoys dying of any kind has to try this at least once.   It will be worth it because the harvest of prints you will have to work with afterwords.
