I recently read an article on the history of the ampersand, A Short History of the Ampersand, and was inspired to make these ampersand designs. After making these, I have decided to do more ampersand designs and combine them into a box book for my senior project. I will write about that as a project more in the future. In these screen prints I was experimenting with transparent ink, and I love the effect I got by overlaping the ink in the first two designs. I will have to consider this effect in my future screen prints.
