An aperient or laxative.

 
l 've had this image for several years now ,and thought it would look great as a french inspired print..its a shame l hadn't google what it said,,not until my friend suggested,,''l think its an ad for laxative's" and sure enough it is,, hilarious,, so its a conversation piece,, l've printed it on canvas drop cloth and made several placemats,, anyway, l still like it, in fact quite funny.
 
 
 
 
This is before l put it through the washing machine, the edging looks heaps better after the wash.

How to line up two color prints

 
 
 
Firstly you need to attach your screen with the top print to a hinge, so this print lines up in the same position each time.
 
Now using a large piece of clear transparency sheet,sticky tape the transparency that has your image on it, you'll see this is hanging out the left on my photo, l tape this to the side of my table once l have it lined up with my screen
 
 



l take my bag that has already got my lemon print on it, l lay it on the table and flip the transparency sheet over the top of it and line up the top image so the words sit nicely on to it.
 
 
 


 
 
 
 then l flip the transparency sheet away to the side and l'm ready to pull the screen down and print
 
 
 



Then repeat for each new print
