Day two in the print room!

Day two was very productive! Twenty three scarves printed leaving twenty to do on Monday!  It's great to see my ideas and creations becoming real!  Very excited to get down to London now! :)

Print Room

First day of printing yesterday…5:30am start to get up and ready.  I had my acetates in a rather large tube, 114cm long to be precise.  I had my bag with my laptop and handbag contents and a smallish suit case with over night things and my print room bag.  Print room bag is the most important bag! Full of gum strip, masking tape, tipex, silk for testers, scissors and of course my notebook!  This is the travelling life of a printing.  It never stops and I do love it! Friends always ask where I will be and its always a mix.  Hard one to pin down I am!  

Here are some pictures from my day in the print room! :)

Dyeing fabric!

So yesterday was a crazy crazy day! In the dye lab 9am till 4pm with a short break! 45metres of silk dyed so that is the good news!  I also stripped and coated a few new screens ready for printing tomorrow!  Today has been a bit of an organising day for my days in the print room! I am off to pack up all my print stuff and get ready to travel down tomorrow.  My aim is to get at least 30 scarves printed  tomorrow! No pressure! I shall keep you up dated on my progress! 
Here are some lovely pictures of the dye lab and the work I did yesterday:)

Colour Mixing

I love to mix up my colour and patterns to have them popping together!  This pink and green print is one of my favourites and I feel it really works well with the yellow scarf! :) 

New Designers

Well well blog.  I feel terrible that I haven't really updated you since graduation!  Things have been pretty busy since then!  

New Designers was a wonderful experience! Met lots of lovely people and gained quite a few opportunities!  I have been back and forth to London for the past few months on business so finding the time to write has clearly been hard! I have been carefully planning things for the last few months and things are looking exciting!! CANNOT wait to get back in the print room! Shall we ordering about ten metres of silk this weekend and creation is going to happen!:) God help the bank balance after buying all that silk! 

Much love,

IT :)
