screen printing and bright memories

October 30, 2011 by Birdbrain 7 Comments

What an outstanding day, made all the more by the reports of snow storms to the east! I spent the morning screen printing, listening to Michael Enright and the CBC 75th Anniversary special. So many memories. This afternoon I couldn’t resist the sunshine. When I came back inside I was inspired to make the pouch below. I gathered all my brightest scraps and sewed them together–the red skirt, the green jacket and the final pieces of the glorious Wendie cobalt.  It makes me smile!

    What a great job. It looks like you had a very productive day. The coloured pouches are really nice. I also really like the red purses that you made!

    Thanks for your positivity Deb! I’m going to make a second remnant pouch with what is left of Cindy’s leather pants. Hope you can make it to the show!

    Glad to hear that you had a great day too. Thanks for the motivation on the weekend; I’ve got my machines running beautifully again and the finished products are starting to pile up. Looking forward to our shows next month.

    All those bright colours sure do cheer a person up – if they need it. Love the multi-colour pouches – primaries always go together so well, don’t they? I am so sorry I didn’t manage to get to the studio while you were there. My trip to TO on the 27th was a drop and dash back up. I was hoping for more time. But I have been following and know it was a huge success!! Kudos.

    Great to hear from you Wendie. And thanks for the comments. You know I appreciate your support.

    And I guess I didn’t make it very clear–but that is one pouch–I just pictured each side–so it is real colour therapy!! I hope to make more–it was good medicine.

    Happy Hallowe’en all.

    I am enjoying using my hoop, almost finished my trivet, 🙂 I will send you a picture when it is done. Still hoping to make it to the show.
