Screen Printing


Yesterday I was practicing screen printing on some fabric and a tote bag that I failed on miserably. This time I used my husbands clamps to make sure the screen was secure to the fabric and it worked! The result turned out much better than before. I am so excited! Yeah!! I will show you a finished piece after I perfect this better. I am using a Speedball kit that I purchased at my local craft store. There are so many ideas swirling in my head that I can't wait to try out.

Another Mischievous Bird

Here is another one of my fanciful birds that I wanted to show you. This little guy can be such a trouble maker, so please keep your eyes on him at all times!

Doodle Doo!




I had fun yesterday playing with different designs with just a black marker. Crayola none the less for fun. This fun drawing session brings back memories of art school, and the assingments we used to do on positive and negative space. I think these designs would look really good on fabric, I have played with the idea of using Spoonflower to see what my designs would look like on fabric. The designs I am working on also may be used for a collaborative coloring book with some World of Whimsy artist. I will keep you posted.

Tote Bag


I wanted to show you my tote bag that I stenciled one of my birdie images on. The process was achieved by cutting out an old coated gift that would resist the paint. I am also attempting to master silk screening my images on the bags. That is still a challenge that I am trying to perfect a consistant ink color. I will show you once I get the hang of it better.

Buttons, Buttons

I wanted to highlight some buttons that I have available in my Etsy shop. I am thinking about making some magnets of these images, and selling them with two more birdies as a set. What do you think? I would appreciate your comments.

Sketching new ideas


I am already starting to think about some ideas for a new landscape and Christmas...yes I said Christmas. It will be here before you know it, so I may as well plan ahead. I will keep you posted on my progress.
