Simply Shells Hand-Drawn Screen Print by Mark Hufford – Ocean-Inspired Silk Screen for Fused Glass & Mixed Media

Infuse your glass art with coastal charm and creative flow using Simply Shells — a beautifully hand-drawn screen print by Mark Hufford of MSH Designs. Featuring a collection of organic sea life illustrations including sand dollars, conch shells, and scallops, this screen print is a perfect fusion of nature and artistry. The 8" x 10" design delivers a serene, ocean-inspired vibe ideal for makers creating beach-themed, mindful, or vacation-style décor.

Screen designs by Mark Hufford of MSH Designs are created by hand illustrating the images for a more organic and original design, aesthetic and appeal. Whether using the simple screened line-work in fused glass, utilizing different enamel painting techniques and products by glazing over with diluted colors, painting over the outlines that serve as guides for the fused glass painter, reverse enamel painting, or using powdered frit, the screen designs can expedite the painting process.

Whether you use it as a clean linework template, a base for reverse enamel painting, or a guide for powdered frit overlays, this screen adapts effortlessly to your techniques. Mark’s screen designs are specifically crafted for fused glass artists to build upon — allowing you to enhance the images using fired glass enamels, frit shading, or paint layering techniques. Whether you’re making heartfelt gifts, coastal-themed tiles, or one-of-a-kind craft market pieces, “Simply Shells” gives your artwork a head start with detailed and professional outlines.

To ensure crisp results, we recommend pre-firing the print at 1375–1380°F (746–749°C) before applying any wet mediums. For bold and vibrant effects, use our Rogue Screen Printing Paste — specifically developed for glass and ceramic firing. Add a splash of color with fan favorites like Aurora Red, Vivid Turquoise, or Sun Yellow for vibrant glass expressions.
