Screen-printing Medusa

For the next assignment we should repeat the screen-printing process from before with an own design. I decided early on i wanted to print an own drawing, but since i had little time i knew i wouldn't be very fancy. So i chose to do only a lineart for this.

 This is the initial sketch from my sketchbook. I had no time to redraw or scan it so i traced it over my graphictablet into photoshop...

and made a clean lineart out of it.
After this we had it printed out on a transparent plastic sheet. 
The plastic sheets are used to transfer the motive on to the screen frame. The screenprinting frame was covered with a photo sensitive emulsion before. Here you can see the process of transferring via blacklight. 
Afterwards the screen is washed and a negative space of the image is left. Now we secured the screen with a bit of tape...

and began printing: 

and here is one of final products:
