from scratch

in between the holiday/new shop/market/daily life madness of the past couple of weeks, i've still eked out a bit of time to entertain my desire for new designs. i've even taken it to the next step and have been creating the screens themselves, from op shopped picture frames and screen printing mesh that i ordered on ebay, then painting the designs on with speedball screen filler. it's a pretty great and cheap way to muck around and try out new stuff. the photos show the {very rustic} screen i made this week, trying to replicate a design i first carved as a stamp back in august and then the results of that screen plus another of my designs printed in pinks on super soft pinwale corduroy for a couple of custom oobees.



and some very festive tights i made for mae using another new screen i created last week. teeny little confetti-like squares make me smile. i hope to mesh a couple of larger frames tomorrow but next time i do a smaller one, i'll take photos to do a little tutorial, it's really pretty simple once you've got the supplies.
