***happy new year***

Happy New Year! I am really looking forward to see what 2014 brings... I feel it's going to be an AWESOME one!

We had a wonderful Christmas and new year break... lots of relaxing! I am totally refreshed and ready to jump back into it all again! I had a total break from screen printing which was really hard to do, because I love it so much but I did get to work on a few other projects.

I whipped up an new oven mitt  for the kitchen and made myself a new messenger bag! Love my new bag!

I also decided to dress kitty & bear up as robbers to make them look a bit more boyish for a friends little boy... they also could be off to the movies with 3D glasses on with bags of lollies!  :)

Once our holiday break was over I went on a screen printing frenzy... it felt soooo good!

 

I also totally satisfied my metallic ink obsession! Loving the metallic copper...

...and my new obsession... gold metallic ink! Love it!!!

I'm looking forward to getting some new things in my little Etsy shop soon!

Hope you all had a lovely time over the holiday season!
Hope the new year is a fantastic one!

my creative space: pouch of triangles

It's been a bit of a slow week for me but sometimes you just need a little swapathon to get you moving! Cathy McMurry from Habit of Art is having a swapathon. I think it's such a great idea to do a swap of each others creative work and I feel lucky to be able to take part in it!

I decided to make a new pouch design for it! I had been working on a little design... in my head... for quite some time, combining my current obsession for metallic copper ink and my crush on triangles!
So, I got to...drew some triangles, cut out the stencils, had fun screen printing and made some pouches!

:: cutting screen printing stencils

:: screen printing - copper and charcoal

:: large copper and charcoal triangle pouch

:: small copper and charcoal triangle pouch

I made a large one for Cathy's swapathon, two for my etsy shop and of course...one for me! I just love it when something turns out exactly how you imagined it in your head! :)

Hope you are having a great creative week!
There are lots of creative people over at my creative space...
