Flower screen printing

I spent the morning at Bainbridge Studios in south London making this print. It went well in terms of the colours and the registration, AND I managed not to rub my hair on the screen for once, so no hairy prints! Spring flowers - an invocation I hope - it's pretty gross outside today. 

Screen printing ideas

I did some screen printing on Monday, trying to get away from my standard palette of dark orange, black and red - which always seems to be the colours I print for cats, of which I've printed many...

This was a mixed success - I overprinted the pink on the green, and sadly it wasn't as translucent as I'd meant, which meant I ended up with too much pink and a weird balance. BUT it was enthusiasm-firing, and I'm going back next week for another shot. 

I want to do something with quite a lot of the dark dark brown.

Perhaps skunks in tutus, or perhaps not...!

Kitty cushions

I have some cat cushions available in my shop. These guys are hand printed by me onto hand sewn by me cushion covers, and include cushion pads, 16" x 16". Sure to brighten up any sofa!

£25 each including cushion pad and postage. CAT BARGAIN TIMES!!

After the Party

I spent this morning screen printing these tree cats - again I'd managed to leave it longer than intended since the last time I went, so still felt like I was doing a refresher! Three colour cats, hanging out... they are pretty spattered with paint, I'll be selling them in my shop for not much, as they are not pristine... next time I'll nail it!!!

After the Party, 3 colour screen print, signed numbered limited edition.

Iguana make a riso

Of this guy... thinking about colours. Oh, which to chose! Should he even BE a riso??

Yoga Cat printing!

Yesterday I went for my induction at a new (to me) print studio. I absolutely loved it there - and had a great time printing up these yoga-loving cats. 

They are now available in my SHOP - for any yoga lovers in your life!

On the way to the studio - so much STUFF.

Cats on the printing bed!

Shake a tail feather!

Printing

I'm going to a new printing studio tomorrow for an induction and to have a go with these yoga cats. I will have half a table at an illustration fair in Hastings in December, so I'm thinking about what I should have for sale. 

Not yet sure how big or how many per page I'm going to have these guys... but I'm keen to do some printing before I forget again!
