Creative Space : Print Play

I finally did it!

Last week, my friend Kate and I (and Levi!) went to the Melbourne Craft & Quilt fair and did a one hour screen printing workshop with the lovely Louise Snook.

And I loved it!!

My first ever screen print was this, a tea towel :


And of course, I just had to buy the starters kit, so that I could play at home.

So yesterday, I played...




Miss Alannah was quite happy with her new t-shirt, as was I.

This screen printing thing could become quite addictive...yes, I think so.

Lovely creative people sharing their weeks over here.

    I did one last year, it was so much fun :) Did you know you can make your own screens with sheer fabric and a picture frame? Or even an embroidery hoop - that way you can actually paint a design in shellac to reuse :) I'd love to know where to get a starter kit from, so much fun :)
