My week got off to a great start when I received an email this morning from Ayumills at Pink Penguin saying I had won her giveaway!!
If you have not discovered her blog you must pop on over - her work is fabulous. She has great ideas, tutorials and uses the most wonderful fabrics and I am going to own my own little piece!!
If you have discovered me via her blog - Hello!
Update on my Textiles Printing class:
Sadly my class has finished :o( but it was so much fun and I've already signed up for next term!
The nervous bit now is putting together some of my work for an exhibition. It's a great idea - all the evening class courses put together an exhibition of their work for the public. I have so many samples and so many ideas I just need to get going as it is in two weeks time!
I have also taken loads of photos and will now get round to sharing them with you all.
This was my first attempt at screen printing on a large scale but using a small screen (I have now learnt my lesson - see last photo!)
Getting organised - a key lesson I have learned!
My lovely printing ink ~
Laying out my stencils onto a crisp white piece of cotton ~
Getting ready to go mad with the squeegee!
Moving along the fabric ~
The end result! I love the colour and the design but because I used a small screen I got lines in between print! My recent attempts have been much better.
Hope you've all had a lovely sunny filled day - thanks for stopping by!
If you like what you see come and be a follower now I've added that button thingy down on the right hand side. I'll be having my own giveaway soon as well!

This was so cool seeing how this is done! Do you do this as a hobby/profession? I would think that would be so fun! Love the print!
Screen Printing looks so much fun and I really like the pattern you used! I bet you can make a lovely handbag or something using your original fabric!! How Nice! One day I'd love to try it out!!
I just have to try this some time too. Very pretty print!
