I have silkscreened before, but never a run of t-shirts. Its easy to do ONE print correctly. To do it a dozen times is something else. Plus it has two colours...

Yay! I love the shirt :) Are you using water based ink or plastisol? It really looks great and I'm a super fan of batcat.

Water based. I looked for a plastisol supplier in town, but found nothing. Maybe after a few more practice screens I will give that a shot. Or just hire someone else to do it!

Thanks so much, means a lot coming from you! :-D

Plastisol is tricky because you have to cure it at a high temperature. If you don't have a curing unit you can use your oven but I'm not sure how your baking skills are, lol. I'm sure you can find a good deal online.

Do you ever use ebay at all to sell your stuff? I think you'd kill! I sell a lot on there but I'm trying to find other outlets for my shirts. Have any suggestions? I know you're an Etsy master already :)

Yeah I would have to bake them. It would be scary.

I just signed up at lov.li today, but my hopes aren't high. Its pretty new. I thought about ebay, might still do it someday. I know their fees are higher, but with more "alternative" buyers than etsy, it might be worth it.

People were discussing Mintd today on the etsy forums. I think its Australian, but you never know...
