Its Good Friday!

This morning I have been experimenting using my transfer dyes from my sponsor to paint with. I have been painting out one of my designs using them and I am later going to transfer them onto fabric for sampling, I have also had a go using pen on top of the dyes to see what this creates. At the moment I am so busy and I don't know where the last two weeks have gone! Any way, got to go now and get some printer ink as that has run out! Hope everyone has a fab easter weekend!

Late Night Printing!


Been experimenting doing some screen printing with my imagery for Professional Practice, I am rather pleased with the results and think what I have done so far is quite professional!

More Koda Traces..



Using my fab light box I've been tracing my designs onto graph paper in order to then do a cut threw. This then enabling me to do more Koda traces! I LOVE doing them and find it very relaxing I would love a job doing them all day! However, I do have a big work space which is getting gradually taken over with my mess!

This is my mirror design which I have put in repeat ready for when I'm back at college next tuesday and doing my lengths :)

Cath Kidston Brings to you The Royal Wedding...



Everywhere seems to be doing the Royal Wedding bits and bobs but I really like the Cath Kidston ones! Their beautiful illustrations make a lovely change to having William and Kates face plastered on a mug or plate! I do fancy buying one of these!

An Addiction!

Incase you don't know I love to blog and with it I'm slightly addicted to checking its stats and where it is getting viewed! This is this weeks audience and I think it is amazing all the countries that have had a look! It makes me wonder who the people are too! Anyhow, it makes me happy people fancy a nosey! So Hello! :)

I love my Light box!



Today I have spent the day mainly at my light box going over some not dark enough lines on my new Koda traces which are now in cut through format for my repeat lengths. Me and my boyfriend built this lightbox ourselves last summer in which it has been the best thing we ever did! Its been extremely helpful and was dead easy to make! All you need is wood, perspex, silver tape and some strip bulbs!

I am quite excited but nervous to do my lengths after easter as I am abit of a perfectionist and like everything to be perfect! So fingers crossed!
