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…
My apartment is in full chaos. I’m looking forward to next week when I can clean up this mess.
I still have tonnes of work to finish up, but until it’s done I thought I’d give you a couple work in progress shots. I would have liked some prettier photos, but I don’t have time for that.
Enjoy!
I’m spending today preparing new screens and printing new pieces. Wolfe Island is coming up this weekend and I need some new stock!
Strange title. It told me it had to be that way.
I posted photos of red prints of one of my recent illustrations. As I had mentioned, I’ve incorporated it into a red and whilte quilt that I’m building.
Now I have the entire quilt top (measuring 95 by 85 inches) pieces and ready to go. I have a beautiful backing fabric for it, but I’m on the hunt for the balogne part. It’ll come, I’m on my way to visit my local Sally Ann.
Anywho, here’s a sneek peek..
I just finished up my yellow and brown quilt last night and I’m just beginning to cut pieces for my next one. I’m really digging my latest screen print design, so I’ll be integrating it into this newest piece. The colour scheme for this one will be red and white (predominantly white with ultra cool red accents).
Anyway, here’s a sneak peek at my newest print in RED!
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!
I’ve wanted to make soft toys for a long time now. Months ago I bought a fabulous book called Softies. Definitely one of the cuter books in my collection. A while later I bought another book called Plush You. That put the need for toys in overdrive.
I’ve played around with a few designs that I thought I’d like, but I was never super super pleased with the results. Then I spent sometime with Photoshop and created a small cast of the worlds most awesomest fruit pack. I call them Hot Fruit in homage to the notoriously funny show Strangers with Candy (please do not allow small children or your grandmother to watch this program).
Here’s your first chance to meet my newest friends….
I’ll be posting them on my Etsy soon enough. They’re also being sold at Made 4 You in Kingston, Ontario.
I hope you like them as much as I do!
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.
