A "UNIK" experience

Today I had one of the days since I moved up north!  I have an artist friend who does a lot of screenprinting in Smithers and she was running one of her awesome how-to workshops.  Here, we learned how to prep a screen, about different inks and materials, how to print your design, and we all got to make a t-shirt and print on anything else that we brought along with us.  I made 5 cards, printed on veneer, and made 3 t-shirts!  Her studio is absolutely fabulous (as is she) and the class was so much fun!  I got to use my octopus that I posted the other day and I learned A LOT.  I really didn't know that there was so much involved in screenprinting!  Visit Sophie Joubarne's blog and also her website Unik Printshop.  She also sells things on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/unikprintshop.  She's an amazing artist who I think needs more recognition!!

DOUBLE WHAMMIE

Just when you thought I wouldn't post for another 4 months...I hit you again TWICE IN ONE DAY

I'm late! I'm late!

Yes, yes...it has been a while.  But I HAVE been doing things!  Here is proof.
