fox among the kittens

This weekend was filled with the printing of the slightly mentioned cute kitten calendar and the emotional rollercoaster that is screenprinting - I've just about recovered (watching the Great British Bake Off is bringing my heart rate down).

 Heres the layer by layer printing process in picture format

layer 1 - gold (of course)

layer 2 - light grey

layer 3 - blue/grey

layer 4 - very bright pink

layer 5 - and the final black layer brings all the kittens together...it's slightly bonkers of me to have made such an elaborate calendar but it will be making it's debut next saturday at the Crafty Fox market at the Dogstar pub in Brixton


the 2014 cat is my favourite - it has a cute chin!

  2. Hello Jen - I don't have a facebook page, I'm not a facebook user at all but I do know people it works really well for...how does it work?

    The calendar will be in my etsy shop as soon as the sun comes out & I can get some decent pictures of it, I'll let you know!

  3. I suppose facebook's not for everyone but I find it's really useful on keeping people updated on latest work, exhibitions, etc. Are you doing any exhibitions in the Bath or Bristol area? Are you from those parts? I'd love to buy one of your prints so would really like to come along and have a browse!
    Thanks
    Jen
