Lots of fun was had by those who took part in my introductory screen printing course. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get photos of everyone’s work, but I wanted to share the shots that I did get.
The next round of screen printing classes will start Sunday, April 19th. Call Caren at Buttercup & Co. for more information!
I’ve stripped out a bunch of my old screens, destapled them and installed a whole new screen. They’ve been coated in pretty green chemicals and I’m just waiting for them to dry. Hopefully I’ll have some time tomorrow afternoon to burn in the new images.
Here’s a peek of whats to come…
I’m spending today preparing new screens and printing new pieces. Wolfe Island is coming up this weekend and I need some new stock!
I just wanted to share my newest silk screen print with everyone. It’s my own design, but I’m the first to admit that it’s heavily influenced by the work of Lotta Jansdotter. Her work is so beautiful and absolutely refreshing.
I created this graphic using a combination of hand drawn illustrations, Photoshop and Microsoft Paint. I’m pretty darn happy with the way it came out.
Right now I’m incorporating the design into a quilt I’m working on, but I have a feeling it will show up elsewhere too!
While waiting for my new screens to burn I decided to print up some stationary. During my lino carving workshop on Saturday I made a little dino stamp. Tonight I carved out a couple hand drawn word bubbles. Combining the two creates on of the most lethaly cute cards ever. Now I just have to decide on the text. I’m thinking these dinos are feeling kittenish.
Dino says M-E-O-W!
Spacemen and deep sea divers for the boys. More to come…
I’ve ravaged a couple of containers of clothing that I’ve had for a while and turned them into something a little more interesting.
I’m thinking that I will be adding these to my site, but I have to take some time to consider pricing and such. These may also show up on Etsy.
Here are some of the pieces that I really dig. Soon I’ll be sharing some of the men’s pieces that I’ve been working on.
I’ve been doing some softie crafting lately; some good and some bad. I printed up another yard or so of robots and kokeshi tonight.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the better dolls. The robot is still a little pointy for my liking, but I’ll see what I can do about that.
Last night I did my prelimiary prints with my new screens. For the most part things turned out nicely. I had to do a few touch ups with my handy-dandy nail polish.
I’m intending to use the kokeshi dolls and and the robots to create some super cute stuffies. We’ll see how that goes. The smaller graphics are for clothing and journal covers.
