creative spaces

:our creative space:

Yesterday I showed you a sneak peak at some fabric that I was screen printing.

It all started with this old pin board that I found in the cupboard.

Yes that is the shadow of a chicken.

It's very hard to take photos outside without the chickens coming for a look.

I then cut out a stencil from paper for my screen.

and away I went.

It was looking a little plain so I cut another stencil and printed the new smaller design using a blue/grey colour to fill in the spaces.



I sprayed the frame white and then just covered the pin board with its new fabric.

It's perfect for the end of my sewing table to pin all those bits and pieces of inspiration..

I love this postcard that my Mother In Law sent the girls of The Partick Steamie in 1955.

It's an old public laundry in Scotland.

She tells them that this laundry was where all the mums used to go to do their families washing.

I think it may have been their weekly social outing too by the look of it.

Today I  played around on the computer and designed these..

 

Printed them out........

and using contact paper, craft knife and fabric paint,

I made this for Kelsi.....

I think a screen printing kit is now on the cards as I can see lots of possibilities for this little design.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
