Screen printed inros



Tried my hand at screen printing my inros and using Lazertran INKJET (the new one) transfer paper, works a treat but I did notice the corner of one of them come up a bit, will have to check 'Glass Attic' (thanks to Diana Black for this very comprehensive reference to anything polymer!) to find out whether I can put a sealer over the top. Still, I'm pretty pleased with the way these have worked out. I love the screen printed look.

hehe...thanks ladies! My fan club! Love ya for it! For my mould, I used a 2 inch tall petite four cutter by Ateco (bought from Polymer Clay Express in the US of A years ago).
I didn't use the Kato inro tute though, I made an easier one. You'll notice it doesn't have an 'inner sleeve' or open in the middle like hers do. This one is just one sheet wrapped around the mould with a lid. I'm ALL about choosing the easy path!

Hi Mel,
They are beautiful! I had made some and loved working on them and then just stopped and moved on. Now I've been in kind of a slump but you've re-inspired me to make some more! I'm so happy I found your blog!
