I’ve missed about a month of #printpromptmonday. Ugh, so sad. Work’s been hectic and today I was piecing together vellum for my Frog Block screen print. That’s all I’ve got to show today. #screenprint #textiledesign #printsky

I made a few samples of my new β€œKnitting” print before deciding to make some changes and re-burn the screen. It was a pain to reclaim the screen, but it’ll be worth it in the end. I handprint and sew each tote. This one is made for small knitting projects.

Love her work! Very interesting compositions and textures. It’s something that you have to look at for a while and sit with.

The graphic for this weeks print prompt Monday! It shows three relief print motifs - a rabbit with a long medieval trumpet, a lady doing yoga and a weird bird. From the trumpet the words β€œprint prompt monday” are emanating. In the top left it states that this weeks prompt is β€œfavourite piece” 
The graphic has an off white background and the details are in a bright red and muted teal.

#printpromptmonday #inprocess Though it looks simple, this is one of my hardest prints to pull. Rainbow is 6 colors on 3 screens, which create 11 colors.

Thank you John! I was pleased with it in the end. I mocked up the colors in Illustrator and I was worried that it would look flat but the transparent ink and screen printing process helped a lot.
