New screen Prints

I have been busy recently doing a lot of printing done in preparation for my first craft fayre in a weeks time and to also put some new item into my Esty Shop (this will probably be updated in early december).

After a couple failed attempts I have finally set up another screen to do some different prints from the ones in earlier post, as you can see the trees have made a comeback for the craft fayre (though just like the owl this will be the last run of trees that I print)

Print experiments

I have been a one woman printing machine lately (quite literally) every spare I have had has been spent in my little garden shed studio printing as many prints as I can in preparation for The Boutique Market in Monmouth that I will be selling my prints at and also for new stock on my Etsy store.

A lot of the prints in the post are of the same flower that I have posted previously but I have tried out layering a couple of colours over on another.

Trying out Screen printing on fabric

I've been meaning to try out printing on fabric for a while now and I thought what better time to try it out than now :). I decided to print the fuchsia flower onto the bag and for this I used Speedball's fabric ink.

As this was just a test to how well it would print I wasn't too bothered about there being a few creases in the bag. The bag I used is a cotton based tote bag that I purchased on ebay a few months ago.

The image came out really well (even considering the about of creases in the fabric) Next thing to do now is to test how well this copes going through the washing machine and whether or not the ink will stay put. I will keep you posted.
