Well hello there….it's been a little while, hasn't it?
This last month has been filled with a number of things that have kept me so busy, but it's nice to come up for air and I plan to stick around for a while now.
So you are probably wondering what this picture has to do with Wednesday's work. I have been dabbling in a few new things over the last month and one of them has been hand stamping and screen printing fabric. It's definitely a learning curve to get consistent and even depth of color but I am really enjoying it.
Working with a water based paint means that the paint stains come off of my hands with soap and water, which is a nice change from the yarn dyes that always make me look as though I haven't washed my hands in days…LOL.
I will be making some bags with this fabric that I have created and I am excited to see how they come out. Playing with fabric is as much fun as playing with yarn, but a little easier on my back, so it's been a nice way to alternate work. With so many ideas floating around in my head, it's going to be a nice mix of work.
It's always fun to try new things, isn't it?

Beautiful. I love screen printing. The jury is out on if I like that second where you hold your breath before lifting the screen to see if everything came out all right though…. lol.
