Fun flowers

I have just put these up for sale on the Folksy site.

There are some birds in the pipeline, I need to get the pattern right.

Screen Printing, flowers and showers

Had a fun afternoon - whilst it was pouring with rain outside, working with bright yellow paint.

This is now pickling and will wait until after the weekend to open the bag and give it a wash.

I think the flower effect, which was entirely by accident gives a sort of Hockney look. I love his daisy prints.

Then getting carried away and having paint left over I went and added more colour to the fabric that I had left over from previous printing.

Have a good weekend and more next week.

sewing

Not much sewing done today apart from some cards, busy sorting out the fish pond. This is a print that I did the other day - using a gocco screen. Undecided at the moment what to do with it next.

I better explain where the cushion fits in. I have recently returned from living in Australia, my husband had a job there.
I needed to find something to do. Although teacher trained unless I wanted to do supply, they were few and far between. I applied for a job as a visual arts technician, along with 350 other people, so no joy.
Melbourne, where we were living has a lot of markets, one of the best things about living there and something I miss. So my thoughts were to start out small, make some cushions and sell them at the markets. Unfortunately our plans changed and we decided to return to England. So the cushions are on a slow boat making their way to the UK.
I really like working with floral motifs - so decided on the name of Red Daisy - red and variations being my favourite colour. I didn't realise that if you did an internet search it would come up with the Daisy from Dukes of Hazzard!!
