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!

    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? :)

    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!

      I did a short course at the Sydney Community College about 2 years ago... Loved it! Pity your class got cancelled! If you have any questions I am happy to help where I can :)

    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!

      Thanks Ronnie, Yes I am looking into setting up a an online shop - probably won't happen for a little while though!
      I designed the lettering myself and the cut stencils out for screen printing!
      Wow Jamie is nearly one... :)

    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!

    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! :)
