Greetings all,
Well HOW lucky am i?? Last week I spent a whole day of giggles, laughter, lessons, business & fun with the wonderful Thea Samios of Thea & Sami screen printing magic, in Queensland. Thank you Thea, i had a ball with you, i've certainly caught the screen printing bug!!
Now this is one full on professional set up with mega printing tables, assistant Dan, wall fans, sky lights plus a custom design cleaning trough, it was screen printing bliss.
Honestly, it was like watching magic happen, with this back & forth flowing rhythm of paint, screens, accuracy & perfection. Oh, on the best quality linens too!!
Sweet Thea doesn't like her photo being taken . . . what is more gorgeous than taking a bunch of images of someone as they work, to find they're laughing in every photo you download!!??
This was jaw dropping beauty, honest & for true.
Thea & Dan had both the 10m & 7m tables printing up a storm.
Thea & i both love our maths & numbers so the accuracy & measurement is our thing. Precision is key, especially with her detailed designs.
Even watching the different runs dry at intervals was magical.
Watching paint dry is fascinating, i can assure you.
Then i got to play with some shapes i brought along to cut out & make into screens.
So i made each of my children a new pyjama top.
Look at these beautiful designs on the large screens.
Want a piece of the action too?? Thea is holding a GRAND OPENING of this new studio & shop on Saturday 30th April, from 10a.m. to 4p.m. at Unit 1, 6 Jones Road, Capalaba Queensland. Find out how fabrics are screen printed & pick up some beautiful original hand screen printed delights, including remnants. There will be screen printing demonstrations at 11a.m. & 1p.m. You will be made to feel very welcome!! Please RSVP here.

The remnants are AMAZING, quality, value & perfect for those smaller sewing projects. I promise i left some!!
So i'm very ready to be back in my own studio after some fun & relaxation in Queensland (so much more on that later) & will be sewing my heart out to wrap up the school holidays & make good use of the huge array of new fabrics in my new cool vintage suitcase. Happy Creative Space this week, i've been having a ball. Love Posie
