Product Description:
Amy Latta Creations' Home States Screens will speak to those who love their home state- and who doesn't!? When screening on unpainted bisque (recommended), suggest a darker color so that the word HOME contrasts nicely. As with all screens, be sure that base coats are completely dry before screening. If there is moisture in the base coat, it can affect the screen and cause it to look splotchy or blurred. Be sure to create plenty of samples to spark creativity in your customers. Create samples that show how nice screens look on unpainted bisque, and pop color by painting the insides of vessels, bottoms of boxes, and rims of plates. Combine the use of stickers and screens for the best of both worlds. First, apply a sticker badge that's larger than the state you wish to screen. Then apply 3 coats of a background color. Pop off the sticker to reveal a nice, crisp area in which to screen the state. The finished result is a colorful mug with a framed state design your customers will LOVE. Easy to do and looks great!
Be sure to check out Amy Latta Creations' Solid State Screens as well. This set features solid states that can be connected with a chain of hearts. Use the sets together to create pieces that show one state as "home" and the other as a solid state depicting where someone special resides or even as a favorite spot to travel. Get creative with it!
This is a set of 5 screens that includes all 50 states plus Washington D.C. State sizes vary, averaging around 3" so that they can fit on most mugs, box tops, vases, etc. Note that state names are not labelled on the screens intentionally so that the labels won't screen onto the piece. Instead, use a permanent marker to write the state abbreviation next to each state so that your staff and customers can easily tell them apart.
