New Year

New Calender... better than the one I made last year.
This one is hand printed by a family friend, who also created this print a few years ago.

Africa

I went to the British Museum last weekend (to see an exhibition that opens in March...whoops), and came across a room of African textiles - 'Social Fabric: African Textiles Today'.

So many beautifully printed fabrics - and a few great slogans too. Really liked this bicycle print with girl power tagline:

 

Hung side by side by a mango print piece:

Silk Screen Prints

Work from a project I did many moons ago, which resulted in a silk screen print I still really love.

Screen Print

This evening I randomly came across this picture of a silk screen print I made a few years ago in Manchester. After having withdrawal symptoms from printing regularly at school, I did an afternoon's worth of it with Daisy, one day in our second year... Really not my greatest effort, but I do enjoy using the tote bag I printed with there assorted animals.

Ode to Preston

Tribute to the flea market I went to in November - this was done by a friend of the family's and is looking rather festive in our living room at the moment.
