Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) / Digital Imaging | | English term or phrase: through your mother's silk stockings | Burning, toning, split-grade printing and printing through your mother's silk stockings are just some of the wonderful, weird and positively wacky techniques used by the traditional masters of the darkroom waiting to be exposed in this tantalizing digital project...
¿Any suggestions?
Thanks |

Lo único que se me ocurre es que pueda ser una referencia a la serigrafía ("silkscreening") y, en este caso, sería "casera" porque menciona las medias de seda de la mamá, o sea, una herramienta improvisada para hacer el trabajo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkscreen
Screen-printing, also known as silkscreening or serigraphy, is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged single-color image using a stencil and a porous fabric. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique.
It began as an industrial technology, and was adopted by American graphic artists in the 1930s; the Pop Art movement of the 1960s further popularized the technique. Many of Andy Warhol's most famous works were created using the technique. It is currently popular both in fine arts and in small-scale commercial printing, where it is commonly used to put images on T-shirts, hats, ceramics, glass, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper, metals, and wood.
In electronics, the term silkscreen or silkscreen legend often refers to writing on a printed circuit board.
Printing technique
A screen is made of a piece of porous, finely woven fabric (originally silk, but typically made of polyester or nylon since the 1940s) stretched over a wood or aluminium frame. Areas of the screen are blocked off with a non-permeable material—a stencil—which is a negative of the image to be printed; that is, the open spaces are where the ink will appear.
The screen is placed on top of a piece of dry paper or fabric. Ink is placed on top of the screen, and a squeegee (rubber blade) is used to spread the ink evenly across the screen. The ink passes through the open spaces in the screen onto the paper or fabric below; then the screen is lifted away. The screen can be re-used after cleaning. If more than one color is being printed on the same surface, the ink is allowed to dry and then the process is repeated with another screen and different color of ink.

Método de reproducción de documentos e imágenes sobre casi todos los materiales, que consiste en tranferir una tinta a través de una gasa (antiguamente de seda, de ahí el nombre), el paso de la tinta se bloquea en las áreas donde no habrá imagen mediante una emulsión o barniz, quedando libre la zona donde pasará la tinta.
Se situa la gasa, unida a un bastidor para mantenerla tensa, sobre el soporte a imprimir y se hace pasar la tinta a través de ella, aplicándole una presión moderada con una rasqueta, generalmente de caucho.
En estampación textil, también se usan cilindros de acero inoxidable, con minúsculos poros por donde pasa la tinta, la presión se ejerce con un cilindro metálico alojado en el interior del cilindro de impresión.
