While I know that one of the greatest appeals of thermofax screen printing is the opportunity to have screens made from your own artwork, I also know how enjoyable it is to grab a screen that's all set to go and get right down to printing.
With that in mind, I'm really pleased to bring you 25 new ready-to-print designs. And I gotta tell you, there really is something there for everyone.
Your favorites from the past year have remained and I've retired several older images to make room for new, fresh designs.
I've created an easier way to find the type of screen you want with new categories. Screens can now be found by looking in the following categories:
I'm really happy to work with super talented designers. And I thought you might like to meet the people that create these wonderful images for your screen printing pleasure. So without further ado, please meet the lovely ladies who are behind the designs!
Jackie is a mixed media fiber artist. Her non-traditional cloth and mixed media creations incorporate hand dyed, commercial & vintage fabrics, drawing & painting, hand & machine stitching, Thermofax screen printin, metal embossing, and whatever else sparks her imagination.
The fundamentals from which Jackie creates her pieces are her studio art and graphic design degrees. She combines these with the raw materials of her experience as a professional graphic designer and as a mother, wife and homemaker.
For Jackie, creating art hasn't been a hobby, its been a need. No matter what limited resources she has at her disposal - tools, supplies, techniques, and (most elusively) time - Jackie is able to turn them into something the world has never seen before.

I am a mixed-media and textile artist living and working near Houston,
TX. The last ten months has seen me obsessed with developing a very
personal marking-making technique I call Stacked Journaling. Using only
my handwriting as a design element in my art has intensely focused my
creative energies while allowing me to inject much more of myself into
my work than ever before. I utilize paper, paint, fabric, dyes, inks,
wax, and a myriad of tools, as well as my thoughts, hopes, worries,
memories and family stories to create my art.

Jennifer Solon is a collage artist who creates abstract compositions
from hand-dyed textiles, papers and paint. Using a variety of surface
design techniques and pigment, Jennifer transforms plain white cloth
into multi-layered constructions that often incorporate nature motifs
and digital imagery. This process is highly improvisational, guided by
intuition, a sense of play, and the joy of experimentation.
Inspired by her walks along the Maumee River, Jennifer often
references the natural landscape with her use of organic forms such as
seed pods and river rocks. While not a literal translation, her work
evokes the memories of a certain time and place. Jennifer's collages
explore the simple and complex relationships between color, shape, and
texture.
Originally working primarily in fabric, Jennifer has
transitioned to a more mixed media approach. Textiles - and the tactile
texture they impart - still play an essential role in her collages.
Recently, Jennifer has drawn upon her background in technology to create
a series of digital collages
that combine images from a variety of sources (including photography
from her travels, digital renditions of earlier pieces, scans of the
fabric she creates, and hand-drawn elements). Many of Jennifer's mixed
media collages include digital imagery as a component. These images are
also available as prints and custom fabric.

I enjoy many forms of art, including embroidery, doll making,
watercolors, art quilts, printmaking, collage work, and all things
strange.
