What is it about screen printing that is just so darn addictive? The more paint I mix and slop around, the more I want to do it again. I want to print and print and print until I get the technique just right and am rewarded with a perfect print. Then I want to mix a different colour and start it all over again....
The whole process can be really rewarding or really, REALLY frustrating.
Either way - it is a-d-d-i-c-t-i-v-e!
So, I was allowed an hour or so at the weekend to get messy. And whipped out a few green apples and green robots. I mixed the green myself - the on screen colours don't do the colour a great deal of justice. It isn't an emerald green, definitely not an olive green or even a granny smith kind of green - it is a lovely vibrant, summery, sunshiney green.
The colour is probably somewhere between the Pantone Summer Green and Bright Green. It is g-g-g-gorgeous...if I do say so myself.
Anyhooo, if you are looking to invite a bit of summery green into your life...look no further than here!
On a really exciting note, I have a few days of leave to look foward to at the end of August. Leave where I will be all to myself! The girls will be at nursery, Flower Daddy at work (for most of the days) and me at home. At home! Designing! Mixing ink! Printing! Exposing screens! Sewing! Time - all - to - myself. Time to do with as I please!
Can you feel my excitement????!
