I want to use digitally printed linen for some of my new needlework kits. I’ve had a really clear vision of the designs for weeks but was struggling to find a way to get them from my imagination and onto some fabric.
Hoorah for primed hardboard and emulsion paint tester pots…..they are absolutely perfect for designing. Consistent colours day after day, a really flat finish and best of all no need for solvents to clean the brushes.
Finishing a cat this morning and I think a poodle may start to emerge this afternoon. Then it is just a question of photographing everything, tidying the graphics on the computer and then off to the printers, ‘simples,’ as a certain meerkat would say.
