A Love, Hate Relationship

Screen Printing.

Now... We got off to a bad start indeed! I was stubborn, print was intimidating, it was all a bit daunting! I was loyal to my embroidery, but was willing to try something new! So i ate my pride and jumped straight in, and once i made my mistakes and realised i could be as messy as i liked i soon started to fall in love!

i have only ever worked with heat transfer and sublimation, both of which i loved! But screen printing seemed that bit more scary! But after lots of experimenting (and lots of cock ups and tantrums) i finally got the hang of things and i now cant wait for my next module so i can do it all over again!!!

So here are some of my first ever attempts of print!!

Fairwell Ogre (fairwell module)

  And so the end is upon us! And how welcome it is! I thoroughly enjoyed the past two projects in this module, dont get me wrong, but it is such a lovely feeling to see the back of them at the same time. I have learnt some very exciting new techniques (HELLO THERE PRINT) but now im buzzing to experiment and see what i can do with them!

The first project was the embroidery project as i posted about before! And oh how i love her! Embroidery just absorbs me into a sort of sewing filled bubble where i will sit and sew for hours and hours until i realise what time it is or how hungry i am! I just love it! Hand emrboidery is my baby and my passion, and i loved this project so very much!!

So here are some more of the best samples in my folders, and the finals!
