my creative space: screen printing

I managed to find some time to do a spot of screen printing before my little man's birthday party preparation madness begins! A bit of calm before the storm, which is quite funny because it is very stormy here in Sydney at the moment! I am just little bit worried about it raining on our little party on Saturday! Fingers crossed it won't be a wash out! Yikes!

Back to screen printing! Gosh... it is so nice to do a bit of screen printing again... I just love it! I decided to screen print my "home sweet home" tea towel in some new colours (a gift for a friend). I had lots of fun mixing up some new colours, lime yellow and dusty grey... great colours together!

I went looking for my stencils and discovered I had lost the flower stencil and had to re-cut them out again... bummer!

I am so do happy with how it turned out... bright and fresh! It's amazing what a change of colour can do to a design!

  2. Beautiful! These letters look absolutely flawless. Can't even begin to imagine how hard that must be to cut out perfectly. I remember the ones you did in pink, and I was just as astonished how well they turned out. Something to add to your forthcoming etsy-shop I presume? :)

  3. Where/how did you learn to stencil screenprint? The class I signed up for got cancelled...so I'm probably going to end up teaching myself...

    Love the lime green--so cheery!

  5. Oh lamina, I really love this! Have you ever considered setting up a shop? How did you do the lettering? Jamie has his first birthday in a few weeks as well and I haven't done anything for it yet!

      I designed the lettering myself and the cut stencils out for screen printing!

  7. Lovely colors Lamina, so fresh. I'm crossing my fingers for you guys for the weather on the weekend. It's always nerve wracking watching the weather before a party, hey. And I'm sad I can't join in the Thursday fun today - damn computer!

  11. Very fresh and Spring-like. And screen printing, yet another thing I'd like to try. I think I'll be kept busy for another 50 years with all the things I want to do! :)
