Screen Printing

This semester I'm taking a class called screen printing a friend ours turned us on to it last year so it seemed like it would be fun to do! Turns out its harder than it looks and I've had a lot more prints that almost worked that ones that just worked! Tonight I had one that worked.

The image is stolen from prolly is not probably its a shirt that he made to sell but I may have copied it... please don't hate me prolly!

Wedding: DIY update

Spring break 2011 is underway. All I'm focusing on this week is the wedding! Projects are getting started, plans are getting finalized, and the dress is getting sewed. woohoo! Anyway, this update is for my 'fabric chandeliers' inspired by this picture from 100layercake:

I think this might be my first project that I can call 100% done. I made three 'chandeliers' using wire wreath forms to make them circular. I took one of them outside to see how it might look hanging in the backyard. Now just imagine summery blue skies and blossoming flowers rather than the cold white winter backdrop. I think one of the chandeliers will be hanging in the gazebo (in the background of the last pic) and who knows where the others will go! I guess there's still some planning to do...

Today we are working on invitations. Printing them ourselves, of course!

'call me a hipster as long as you're a listener'

Sunny Saturdays are best spent sitting in the sun watching Chris do tricks on his bicycle. And watching your basketball team beat the #1 team in the country isn't too bad either. Let's go....
