Printing Kits

Throughout my textiles course we tried many different types of fabric decoration, some I have shared on here. From my playing I have developed a couple of kits for anyone out there who would like to have a play. As with my patterns I have written colour step by step instructions for those who have never tried anything like this before. The kits contain everything to be able to play immediately on opening the box, which many kits out there don't allow you to do. Take a look and see what you think, some feedback would be nice! As usual, available on Etsy at a very competitive price!!

A trip to the theatre

I haven't been around for a while because I have had to finish my City & Guilds course which took up a lot of time. But I have finally finished it and I am glad to see the back of it. We started the course such a long time ago it seems and I was determined not to do my usual thing of leaving it all until the last minute. I did a little bit here and there but I still managed to get way behind.

This is my final piece for the City & Guilds Patchwork and Quilting course, it is approximately 1 metre square and I didn't think I was going to get it in my car when it came to dropping it off. Its in a 6 inch deep MDF shadow box so it stands independantly. The peacock is hand sequined, the scenery is layers of hand painted and quilted trees on organza to give the illusion of depth. The fabrics are hand dyed and printed with my own lino cut. If you look closely at the side panels they are printed with the traditional sad/happy theatre masks.

 It was a lot of work, I can never take the easy route if there is a difficult one to go down!

 I have no idea what I am going to do with it when my tutor has finished with it!!
