First attempt at screen printing

I have been meaning the learn to screen print for years now.  And FINALLY I got a kit to do so. Friends of ours got married and asked for some help making a small gift for the wedding party.

For a first attempt I think it went fairly well considering this project took place after the rehearsal.. Here's what I will be keeping in mind next time:

1) Be careful to cover the entire screen with the photo emulsion - every bit counts
2) Make sure there is time for the screen to dry before it needs to be used.  This will take a few hours.
3) Use clear tape to hold the transparency onto the screen while burning (duhh....)
