i used your standard water based wood stain. it was a very runny so i had to just be careful with where i let it lay on the screen between prints. it took a few tries until i got it right. basically had to clean / wipe the screen down top and bottom between each print.
sort of a pain but i was happy with the end result. i'll definitely do more in the future.
unless you REALLY want one to be there then yes, yes of course theres a face.
this shows tonight, oughtta be good.
thx all for the kind words.
