So much has been going on lately! Veeni just got back from Bali and it's less than a week til LD is off to see Europe. On the Sunday before Veeni left this is what we got up to...
Veeni's ever so talented father made a beautiful silk screen printer for her, so with the sunny weather still on our side we thought we'd give it a go.
Veeni received The Street Art Stencil Book for Christmas which was a great starting point for us beginners. It includes a variety of designs by street artists from around the world and provided a lot of inspiration.
Having done silk screening in high school, it easily came back to us. The hardest thing is getting the right amount of paint on the screen without it bleeding under the stencil, after a few attempts we got better at this and sometimes the bleeding works quite well depending on the print.
Veeni was dog sitting for her parents while they were off romancing for their wedding anniversary ♥, so Rosie was always on hand to provide guidance and help with the breakfast clean up.
While our screen prints dried we went on to do some hand painted fabrics. Here's Veeni's brain that has a slightly eggy appeal. Perhaps it's our love of yummy meals that means food is always on the mind :)
And here is LD's hand painted fabric that has a more tea towel feel about it.
With travel being a part of our lives at the moment we thought we might use our prints to make passport/itinerary wallets - we'll see how we go.
