Screen Printing tutorial

Many were requesting me to teach Screen printing.Also , I had received many emails  regarding queries about screen printing. So I thought I should post a tutorial about screen printing.
Screen printing can be done on any kind of cloth, but if it is done on Silk or Cotton, the effect is very nice.
The materials needed are as below:
Materials : Binder, Fixer , Gold powder( or any color ) , spatula and  of course a design screen.
