My 'studio printing table' is also our kitchen table; sometimes clearing away the printing stuff, making supper, cleaning up after supper, and then getting the printing stuff out again feels like a very long day. So when I found myself alone at home last night, I made the kind of supper you barely need a kitchen for (roast tomatoes, mash them, add green leaves, mix into pasta) and printed to my heart's content.
I can already see these as bags and books and purses! If there's anything you'd like to cut up yourself, let me know, because I won't be putting these in the shop as panels. Some of them are one-offs; the textile mill I get the base cloth from is closing down soon, and I doubt I'll be able to get the same colour and texture combinations easily elsewhere.
I love printing in an empty house! Imagine having a whole studio :) someday, right!
ReplyDeleteI love printing and stop, eheheh...
ReplyDeleteSo so beautiful! How do you do it all just at a kitchen table?
ReplyDeletethey are sooo amazing!
ReplyDeletesupper sounds yummy. i have given up working on kitchentable, the whole clearing up thing was too much for me, looking at your results i guess i should be more patient. a
there's something so great about using your dining room table as a work bench -- it's much more intimate and fun than going elsewhere to work. print away! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours! You have been a busy bee! How sad that the Mill is closing down. So many businesses are just not making it at the moment. I sure hope things improve soon.
ReplyDeleteI think you definitely need your own table! I hate clearing up when I'm in the middle of something creative!
ReplyDeleteps I tagged you today! :)

Magnificent! Yes time alone is lovely - as long as I know its not going to last too long. So sad about all these fabric mills closing down.
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful! Sad to hear a business going under, jobs lost, a unique product gone, so sad. But these fabrics are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the plum color, so nice with the grey!
ReplyDeleteI too have the same issues! Though it is being slowly remedied. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics. Perfection...But not too perfect...

Gorgeous, it takes me to another place in time, in a wooden cottage in the Swiss Alps perhaps? Well done Jezze!I've tagged you on my blog, by the way :) http://beatnikbazaar.blogspot.com/2009/09/tagged.html
ReplyDeleteOMG these are sooooo lovely Jesse!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours.
ReplyDeleteI love printing especially you combine the printing four color in the paint, its looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHI
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in these how big are the pieces - I especially love the one third from the bottome but could mix them. I have some dining chairs that just need seat covers and could mix and match these.
Let me know and how much
thanks

Any tips on where to get decent cloth in CT? And any other funky fabrics? The usual places have rubbish or they so expensive. Still haven't found anything funky. Wonder I'd there is a secret designer fabric place with reasonable offcuts!
ReplyDeleteI wish I did know of a secret designer place - I'm running out of stocks myself.
