Hi crafters! I've read on here about people screenprinting using an embroidery hoop and some kind of netting to make the screens.

Where would someone buy embroidery hoops like that? Do they only come in circles or are they available in other shapes as well? And what kind of netting should be used? Do you use like tulle from a fabric store?

I was talking about it with a friend, and now she wants to get me the supplies for Christmas, but neither of us have any idea where to go or what kind of netting to get.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Well, here's a sample of what I've been working on lately. Take a look and tell me what you think.

I EAT DIRT )

I know the image isn't the best and I know the printing is a little rough, but I thought it was pretty okay for a first try!

I tried to find some answers in the memories section, but I didn't see anything similar.

1) I would like to try making little scent lockets out of polymer clay. It is basically a little cage or box on a necklace into which a wool/felt/cotton pad soaked with a perfume oil will be held. However, I have no idea if the essential oils in the perfume will work with the polymer clay medium. Will they just dissolve the clay over time? I just thought I'd ask here before I attempted something that could potentially fall apart and make me sad.

2) I recently bought a print Gocco (probably one of the last in the US!). I've skimmed through the instructions, but I'm a little confused about a few things, since I've never done screen printing of any sort before. Can I reuse the screens? Does anyone know of the maximum print dimensions offhand? and/or does anyone have any templates for business cards? I'd like to make some temporary ones until I get my 4-color ones printed.

Thanks!!! =)
