Silk screen printing

A few months ago, i took a short course on silk screen printing at Cockpit Arts in London. It was great fun and i now have my own sillkscreen printing frame, just waiting to finish our extension so i will have my own space to get working on some designs and projects. I thought i would post a few pictures of some of the lovely images my class and I created:

Bed upholstery update

It's been ages since i posted on here and i wanted to give an update on the french antique bed i have been working hard to revamp. One summer school and a full semester later, it has gone from looking like the posting below to this ---->

The first picture shows the back of the headboard and the fabric i am using to recover the bed. Its by Joel Dewberry and i LOVE it. 

I have painted the frame using Farrow and Ball's James White in eggshell. Its a lovely in between matte and gloss paint, and has a lovely vintage feel. 

The second picture shows the front of the headboard. I have kept the original horsehair, but i have made a new hessian cover for it. Once i have finished nailing this in, i need to sew around the edges to give a nice firm edge. This is time consuming, but will be well worth the effort. 

Hopefully, i will have a headboard to stand behind our bed whilst i get cracking on the footboard!

Upholstery = time consuming, but fun and rewarding!
