Pattern Repeats and Fabric Designs

Image
 Now I have become somewhat addicted to designing new and exciting fabrics.  This is my autumnal collection and so far I have designed socks, fleece blanket and tea towels. I will be extending my designs to include various motifs, but this is just the beginning of my collection. My brain is really getting into gear with so many ideas for designs and applications.  I am just trying to source the best place to get my fabrics printed and then of course the fun begins with the making! Take care all and Happy Halloween! Shari 🎃 

Screenprinting on to Ceramics

Image
Creating has always been a passion of mine and working with clay is very satisfying.  Something new I have tried recently is Screenprinting and in this case Screenprinting on to a clay surface.  I found this particularly satisfying to do.  I used my own design of Poppies to print on to the stoneware slab and made a lovely vase.  I really think this is something I want to explore further. Stoneware Vase with Poppy Design Then I used my Nature design of birds, leaves and acorns with grasses, which I made a convex wall plaque, which I painted with slip.  Now they are ready to glaze.
