Screen printing is one of my favorite surface design techniques. It's fast when working on large pieces and it creates a beautifully rich surface when multiple images are layered with dyes. Lately I've been playing with a technique I learned from Jane Dunnewold. The basic idea is to
apply acrylic paint to a piece of interfacing to block out a pattern. Then the interfacing is taped to the back of a blank silkscreen. The paint or dye, when
pulled through the screen, will not go through the areas that are
painted. It is a convenient way to create a silkscreen without
dedicating the screen to one image.
I also tried
lutradur as an alternative to interfacing. It is more open, so it
doesn't work as well, although I did get some interesting patterns from
it. Polyester window sheer fabric is another alternative. Below are some of the stencils I
created and the corresponding print.

One of the types of salwar kameez is churidar salwar kameez. It is somewhat different form the traditional ones and has a different look and feel. In this kind of salwar kameez, the salwar or the pants are much tighter. Here is the best store for the shopping.
