Windy Daze printed on fabric..(anyone know the name i have forgotton)
Celena, Thea and Emma deciding on prints.
mmm what should we do? Lynne, Emma Thea and Celena
This was my first simple design i did, cut out of paper. Then i cut out one a little more complicated, with an art nouveau theme. I am glad i spent the time on Friday (at work...shhhh!) working out what i was going to do otherwise i think my brain would have exploded under the pressure.
Patience
Yippeee i finished without cutting off my finger!
I then cut out my Windy Daze picture out of vinyl and printed it on some hirts and some japanese fabric. SOOOO HAPPY!! The feeling you get when you lift off the screen and your image is just sitting there - all crisp and unsmudged is so satisfying.
The other guys in the class were so friendly and very creative.Emma free hand drew some clouds and the coolest looking afro dude... in two different styles, very funky :-)
Emma's Mum, Lynne drew a cute little squirrel and some little ducks.
Celena, who just happened to be the model out of the Special K advertisements, traced some lips and a face.
Mental note - never have a photo taken next to a model EVER again... it's depressing.Can't half tell she know how to stand the right way when getting a picture taken!!
Overall my haul at the end of the day was massive!! I now have my own screen and a squegee, so i now have a new obsession, which can be combined with my sewing obsession - how handy. When screenprinting with the stencil technique, in contrast to getting screened exposed and all that bizo, it is very cost effective too. The prints then become very Limited Edition because you only get that exact print for that one day!
So i can highly recommend the workshops at Thea and Sami in Capalaba, Queensland. Great price, very informative and lots of fun!!
Now... what am i going to make with that fabric....mmmm.
