not pink this time...
No sewing these last days. I've been busy with other things, like sorting, cleaning, renovating... Hope to be back at the sewing machine in a week or two, and in my new playroom!

More prints
I did more deconstructed screenprinting today...
As you see, the prints are still wet.
Now, I've wrapped them in plastic to let them cure. We'll see tomorrow what they'll look like.

Pink and purple
Here are some of the results I got from the screens I prepared the other day.
This fabric was printed with the larger screen, the one with the net bag...
This is a close-up...
The next one comes from the small screens. I think I'm going to overprint it with a handmade block .
I've got a few others that are not very interesting. I guess they need more layers. I've already prepared another screen. The hardest part of the game is that you have to wait until the screen is dry before printing, otherwise the patterns vanish. (That's what happened with the bubble wrap...)

Colours of Africa, and some other colours
I've been working on a few A4 quilts. Some will be sent to Laura for her project "Colours of Africa".
Today, I made a little mess with my dyes... I prepared some dye paste for deconstructed screenprinting. I knew this paste was too thin, but I couldn't help trying it with a handmade block... lots of drips... but maybe this fabric can be rescued tomorrow...
In the meantime, the screens are drying. They should be ready soon...
I'm using two books for these experiments, one by Rayna Gillman and the other by Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan.
And here are some pictures that I took near the lake a few days ago and I had no time to post before today ...

A new quilt
This quilt is ready to be exhibited next week. I finally printed the medium blue fabric lightly with paint because the colour was too dull.
I'm not very excited about this piece but I see it as a good experiment, and I'm ready to move on to the next one.

A few days in Paris
I am back from Paris where I had a very good time.
The weather was much better than expected,
and I had the great pleasure of meeting Karen, one of my fellows from Twelve by Twelve.
