colour matching
After printing the 'a' pattern repeat test in sage green on a linen off-cut and loving the result, it was necessary to colour match the pigment that I had mixed in order to have enough ink to print the actual length for exhibition
...the nitty gritty reality of the studio!

Testing the repeat
After stripping and re-emulsing the large screen that I am using - it was time to test the repeat on my second design. I have to say that I am very pleased with the result. This 'a' pattern will be the second length for Repeat Repeat.

exhibition preparation
After a few more hours in the studio and a couple of test runs of my new 'f' pattern, I have printed the first length for exhibition in Repeat Repeat at Megalo Print Studio + Gallery next month.

back in the studio
The small hiatus since my last post has been filled with much busy-ness and excitement.
We celebrated our engagement (resulting from a wonderful beach proposal in December last year) by sharing a delicious BBQ in a local national park with family and friends on a gorgeous day in late February.
Since then I have been very excited to be 'back in the studio' - designing and printing. Most recently I have been occupied on studio days with preparations of new designs for a group exhibition, Repeat Repeat, which is being curated by, and held at, Megalo Print Studio + Gallery in June 2011. The first design that I have been working on is a new 'f' pattern. This is the first test printed in red water-based pigment on organic cotton/hemp blend fabric.

kyoto series gift cards
I have recently uploaded this kyoto series of gift cards to moyou's etsy store. I took these gorgeous photographs in and around Kyoto, Japan whilst living there in 2006/2007. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
