Today I have spent the whole day at the PrintHaus making fun things for the new shop!
I wanted to print a sign to go on the wall in the shop and I've been wanting to make sew on patches with some fun drawings on for ages; I was fed up with only being able to get band patches!
This is me making my film work ready to go onto my screen. I would normally print my images from the computer onto acetate so I don't have to keep drawing things over again but as the sign is so big I thought it would be easier to scale it up myself.
I can't get enough of purple at the moment so decided to print the text in a lovely rich shade that I mixed up myself. I thought it would compliment the colours of the patterned fabric that I wanted to use. I'm planning on stitching it up and finishing it in the morning so will post more pics when it's finished!
In between all this sign making I also printed a tonne of patches! As I was using waterbased inks I thought I'd take advantage of only being able to do about 4 prints before the ink started drying in the screen and change colours!
So tonight is filled with cutting them all out with the pinkin shears! Oh I lead an exciting life haha!

Wowowow! Love the patches, and the sign! I'm shooting off to Dubai next week but when I get back I'll have to come down and see the shop in all its glory! Good luck for the opening!!! x
