Monday morning

Happy Monday All. *yawn*

It was a crazy weekend full of bbqs and father's day chaos. BUT I survived! Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of work done like I had planned but c'est la vie.

SO tonight I have to get going on my design ideas for my repeat yardage assignment. I'm excited about that, I have some ideas, so hopefully they translate well on to paper so that I can shoot my screen tomorrow and start printing (silk screening).

Oh one more thing, I've posted about her before but I have to tell you the work that Ali J has been posting in her shop, Aussie Patches...SO awesome! I love it. Check out one of her newest illustrations above.

*smooches*

Ouchie

Well, I'm at home today, not for fun stuff either, my back pain won't let up so I'm trying to concentrate on getting rid of this pain in the..er...back. Send me happy, healthy back thoughts PLEASE.

I did go to my silk screening class last night since I had t-shirts pinned to the table in the middle of the whole process so I had to get it done. As promised, here are some pics. They aren't the best, I'm still experimenting on how to take a decent t-shirt pic without wearing it. The t-shirts above are my first batch. I will be printing on American Apparel t-shirts, I just need to get them ordered.

Below is a sketch I created while lying flat on my back, trying to get better. It was inspired by a book I just bought on Art Deco fashion called just that, Art Deco Fashion by Suzanne Lussier (a beautiful little book full of coloured pics). And of course this new obsession of mine stems from the movie The Painted Veil I mentioned a few posts ago. Hope you will watch it.

Alright, time to rest. Ciao and smooches.

Busy day ahead...

I have lots planned for today (of course nothing is happening until I get out of the day job). I have a watercolour painting that I need to finish for my mom's birthday on Sunday. That will hopefully happen tonight (oh and by finish, I mean start, ha-ha). It will be similar to the cover of the notebook that I made my best bud.

I have to work on my silkscreen assignment. Sigh. I tried, oh did I try last night but nothing was hitting me. Maybe tonight.

I also have some yummy paper in my bunker (the studio) just screaming to be made into another notebook. So yeah, I would love for that to happen as well.
Wish me luck!

Alright, now time to get this day job thing out of the way.
