Just checking in with an update on my progress and an amazing link I just found!
The artwork has been sent to my local screen-makers, the deposit has been paid, and by late January I'll have 8 new screens ready for printing. Can't wait to get them back and start experimenting with colors! Though I'm going to do a bunch of paper printing I'm really getting the urge to try out some printed fabric as well. It's a good way to get more mileage from my existing screens and offer a variety of products. But I'm probably getting ahead of myself right now...
Speaking of printed fabric, I don't know HOW I missed this link which has been around for several months, but back in September Etsy did a studio tour and interview with Lotta Jansdotter. I'm a huge fan of all things Lotta and I never get tired of reading about her business. The video does not disappoint!
What a great video!!! Have been much inspired by Lotta over the years. I suppose that is a natural inclination given that we do silkscreening, huh? Would love to work on some fabric printing myself this upcoming year. Provides different ways of manifesting the same designs than with paper. So I will look foward to seeing your upcoming efforts!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
