you can see more of the lovely things people have been printing for the swap (hosted by Leslie Keating of onegirl designwrks) in the handprinted: fabric flickr group. in addition to my assigned four swappers (more info about them posted here), i'm doing a bit of an extended swap with Cassie of elegantitus, who has been doing some fun screenprinting experimentation.
i'm loving these spools and thread. and... if anyone else wants to get in on the extended swap action, let me know!
very cute! I loved whales when I was younger ( still do, but not in the, "my favorite color's purple, I like kitties and unicorns and sugar and LOVE LOVE LOVE whales!"... way) wish I had gotten in on this earlier, be sure to tell me when you find interesting link up parties!
ReplyDeleteThose whales are awesome! I love the different colors for the water spouting. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Rachael!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! What kind of inks are you using? Are you heat-setting?
ReplyDeletethanks, all! alexis - i'm using pebeo setacolor, and it does require heat-setting. oh, and kelley - unicorns are awesome (duh!) ;)
ReplyDeleteWhales!!! Love it!!! I so wanna try this out. I can think of a ga-zillion things to make out the lovely fabric...
ReplyDeleteI adore those whales! The different colored sprays really make it. Great, now I'd better add fabric printing to my crafty wish list.
