My first 3 colour repeat!

Tonight I finished up my advanced course at the Harvest workroom, we all did a 3 colour repeat pattern and here is how mine turned out!

It started with a drawing


Then was the crazy intricate stencil cutting!

followed by choosing a colour pallette and mixing the inks

then at long last printing the first colour

then the second


and finally finishing it off with the third!


I've learnt so much over the past few weeks and I'm super happy with the result. I can't wait to get sewing and turn it into something!

Up up and away Indigo

When I saw this beautiful indigo linen I just had to get it, and here is what I did with it

Today I had a printing sesh! I experimented with opaque ink for the first time and boy was it a challenge! I've ended up with a couple of good prints in the end which I'm very excited about and I will sew them up and they will be available on my Etsy store shortly! Take a sneak peak below!

Indigo blue is such a happy colour :)
I learnt a heap today, and also washed my screen out. . . a lot, so I'm looking forward to printing again soon!

Step and Repeat

So today was the second half of my screen printing course at the Harvest Workroom and i'm addicted!


This is a photo of the front half of the Harvest Workroom as promised, and it just doesn't do it justice! I do love the lights though, such a fantastic and loose look!

I stared the day by layering some crimson red pomegranates ontop of last weeks prints



Then we learnt how to design repeat patterns which I am still super stoked about



My wrist is still recovering from cutting this crazy pattern out


Stencil cutting was followed by the step and repeat printing technique, and It worked! Yaaayyy



I look forward to getting my own screen and of course signing up for the advanced class, where you learn 3 colour repeats, bring it!

Patterns and Print

I have enrolled in a two day screen printing course at Harvest Textiles in Melbourne next month and i'm very excited about it!

I've always had a thing for patterns, as well as drawing miscelanious shapes I can't wait to learn how to repeat my patterns and then print them on fabric, eeep! :)
