Colour mania

Woot!

More colours

I've been spending a lot of time with ink lately, getting a bit of it all over myself and some of it onto fabric, thankfully (and some cardboard too = fun) Each time I walk past the growing mounds of ink, I see this stack of colours and think maybe I'll have to combine them on a tea towel soon...or maybe I'm the only one into brown, baby blue and charcoal (I do have specific but sometimes odd taste!)

Testing testing

Have been doing some colour testing for my new tea towel design and finally, here's a combination that I'm happy with - the pale blue is neither too blue nor too pale (both are just wrong), the brown is neither too brown nor too hazelnut (or was it capuccino? Either way, it was wrong wrong wrong!) Yes, nothing beats the feeling of lifting the screen to see a print looking how you want it to :)

More Summer

So pretty I had to take snaps, oh how great summer fruit is. These are home grown and are sooo tasty - I'd forgotten how much nicer home grown is compared to stuff from the shops. And while they might not look pretty - uneven and blemished - they taste delicious. And the colours - amazing! I got given some plums, too, so might have to do some baking or stewing so they live on for a bit longer.
