Buying some new screens recently, inspired me to do some hand cut stencils again. I used to do a lot of <a href="http://thirdbirddesign.blogspot.com.au/2009/07/placement-printing.html">placement printing</a> when I was uni and really loved the creative process of building up layers of pattern.<br />
Today I remembered how much fun this was and have decided to incorporate this into my Jersey Scarf range. I particularly love the idea of selling patterns that are unique, in that each scarf is completely one-off and never exactly the same to another. Isn't that the beauty of not purchasing mass produced products?Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229525173731025601.post-34587391160328928982013-04-09T19:16:00.001+10:002013-04-09T19:17:02.781+10:00sweet little chairs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have always loved the look of these chairs, however have never really been a huge fan of the bright, fluffy fabric that usually adorns them. Lucky for me I have a talented partner who is an upholsterer!<br />
Yesterday he revamped these little treasures using a sample run of my new pattern. I was really pleased with how they turned out and am inspired to print more!Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229525173731025601.post-78718296488802872882013-04-07T12:39:00.000+10:002013-04-07T12:39:57.744+10:00colour and pattern love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the bonuses of living in a small country town is they are a mecca for op-shop and garage sale bargains. We have recently tapped into the online swap buy and sell in our little town and came across this gorgeous dining setting. It is in immaculate condition and I just LOVE the pattern and colour. And when I say bargain, I mean BARGAIN. I would hate to think what price tag this would have had on it in one of the funky little retro shops in my old inner-city hood. One chair would have cost more than what we paid for the whole set.<br />
Excuse me while we go and christen it with the bottle of wine!Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229525173731025601.post-82636763969467365842013-03-28T22:26:00.001+11:002013-03-28T22:26:25.423+11:00something old, something new<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I took an old design I drew about 5 years ago and repeated it into something new.<br />
Recently when I re-ordered decals for my ceramics, I arranged my patterns into neat rows to save time in cutting out the shapes. I was really drawn to the new patterns that these neat little rows created. Today I put the "lumpy" shape row into Illustrator and created a repeat pattern. I really loved the pos/neg shapes that this created. All of a sudden there were pebble shapes (which I LOVE) and diamond shapes. What I really love the most is that I have a new pattern to complement my ceramic range without having to order a whole new batch of decals!<br />
<br />
Here is a snippet of today's creative process:<br />

I just love a happy accident. Re-colouring one of my signature <a href="http://www.thirdbirddesign.blogspot.com.au/2009/09/white-on-natural.html">designs</a> today, I was hurrying and accidentally filled the area of pattern, rather than the stroke. This is all good of course when you can simply press undo, however I was really excited by the simple, bold shapes that appeared. In fact. I can picture this becoming part of my range.

The studio decorating is a work in progress. Building the table and getting busy was the first priority, however, being a creature of my surroundings, it is important for me to have an organised space and be surrounded by things that inspire me for the designing process. </div>

We have been colecting bits and pieces over the past three months from garage sales and the space is becoming to feel more and more alive and creative. Am really looking forward to spending time over the holidays with a paint can and putting in a feature wall and arranging more pretty things.</div>

Yesterday we set off to enjoy the sunshine at the Suitcase Rummage Market in Canberra. Not only was the weather perfect, the atmosphere was really relaxed and friendly. We met loads of lovely people, especialy our friendly stall neighbour <a href="http://www.bymarienicole.com/">Marie - Nicole</a> whose company made our day extra special. </div>

Things have really changed in my world over the last 3 months. A hesitant move interstate found me meeting my dream man, who has reinspired me to pursue my love of screen printing, which sadly got put aside when I entered the world of full-time teaching.<br />
<br />
With a new studio space and a 4 1/2 meter print table (lovingly built by said dream man) I have been busily printing away with old designs so I can replenish my online shop and stockists with the antisipation of launching new designs and products in the new year. Did I mention that dream man is also a very clever upholsterer??? We also share a mutual love for garage sales and op-shopping. Our heads have been exploding with all the things that we can do together, the possibilities are endless!<br />

I spent last weekend down in Lorne on Victoria's Great Ocean Road with a group of fantastic ladies, celebrating a great friends baby which is due any day now. We had some lovely strolls along the beach and I captured these pretty patterns in the rocks. It truly is a special part of Australia!<br />

I was going to draw this giveaway the old fashioned way with little scrunched up paper names, but being the nerdy IT teacher that I am, I decided to leave it in the hands of digital fate.<br />
Thank you to the lovely <a href="http://jiahdesign.blogspot.com.au/">Jiah</a> from <a href="http://elephantandrose.blogspot.com.au/">Elephant & Rose</a> who wrote a lovely comment on her blog and got an extra number in the draw. You can see her beautiful designs <a href="http://jiahdesign.blogspot.com.au/">here</a>!<br />
But the lucky winner - number 3, thanks to the trusty <a href="http://www.random.org/">random number generator</a>, is Bianca from <a href="http://hollabee.blogspot.com.au/">Hollabee</a>. Bianca is a Melbourne based designer who has a gorgeous blog that you can check out <a href="http://hollabee.blogspot.com.au/">here!</a><br />
Thanks again for the lovely feedback. I will have some new designs and colours available in my shop very soon :)<br />

On top of many little crafty projects that I have had going on lately, I have also been inspired to dust of my screens and print again. I have had this jersey fabric lying around for some time and decided to give it a new purpose. I am quite happy with the result, they are light weight, soft and perfect for dressing up an outfit now that the weather is getting cooler.<br />
<br />
Above are a few examples of my prototypes, I am currently in the process of printing some new designs and colours and will have them for sale in my online shop soon. I will also be having a little giveaway shortly so stay tuned!<br />

I was overwhelmed with the response that I received from these and even more excited when they sold. <div><br /></div><div>Since then, I have been collecting gorgeous plates which I will be decorating with my designs and creating limited edition wall art pieces. Each set will consist of a cluster of three unique, one of a kind designs.</div><div><br /></div><div> I've been having so much fun arranging plates and cutting decals the last few days. More pictures and info to come.

A great way of showcasing ones own fabrics, of course! I have many, many vintage lamp bases in my garage that have been waiting to be loved again and finally a little time off to do so!Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229525173731025601.post-25842436378883558712012-04-16T12:19:00.002+10:002012-04-16T12:27:49.830+10:00crafty holiday project #1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT48LGjW0T52SSri2CXy_zfJqkb9h8cG7pVp-sl0gSXvz4iOQt_7A7MKkqzv0-0FHBm9wC35NvppdJitmISGR7PJV_oVk59BAvaMFmGmk_Vsbu4ELPBMq4J5NKw4HYC6tmQa3L1Au9Nxs/s1600/CHAIR.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT48LGjW0T52SSri2CXy_zfJqkb9h8cG7pVp-sl0gSXvz4iOQt_7A7MKkqzv0-0FHBm9wC35NvppdJitmISGR7PJV_oVk59BAvaMFmGmk_Vsbu4ELPBMq4J5NKw4HYC6tmQa3L1Au9Nxs/s400/CHAIR.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731817675551108818" /></a>It has been a very long time between posts. My new life as a school teacher has left me very little time for my creative life. That however, is all about to change. I have some new and exciting ideas for future projects and maybe even a big move is on the horizon. So stay tuned!<div><br /></div><div>For now, while the sun is still out, I have dug out one of my old Bentwood chairs and given it a new look. I tried desperately to erase the memory of how long it took me to strip it back from it's original white and just went for it. I am quite happy with the result!</div>Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229525173731025601.post-44541945127979956662011-04-16T21:31:00.004+10:002011-04-16T22:12:58.980+10:00new pattern idea<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZa7shCaKobZfRInevZsiPgE527R4EVMIarwfi_AaUFo6_eeJjr92yLJyHUzZBGJt5DRo_ouQdyb0RTEe7gtIr3DjFUBL9xbWaNY0NG6pIOhWJdqu95bM0HXYYybEst5D_L-XCU-Ur_4w/s1600/red.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZa7shCaKobZfRInevZsiPgE527R4EVMIarwfi_AaUFo6_eeJjr92yLJyHUzZBGJt5DRo_ouQdyb0RTEe7gtIr3DjFUBL9xbWaNY0NG6pIOhWJdqu95bM0HXYYybEst5D_L-XCU-Ur_4w/s400/red.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596151541153420946" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Text Color" border="0" class="gl_color_fg" />Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229525173731025601.post-61459227896833094322011-02-13T14:19:00.002+11:002011-02-13T14:24:05.358+11:00designer profile<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahKzr_SqdSCnEjFdkWI0Ts2r8ProZjC3vyL8iLSVR4Nl03S2GZxfOVwa1OSCHjNxMITXry0-Dq636lYl0gQBxHri-IUSJtQO87Ot_w-PCWEagy8VY8l4Ezt8BphiaaRCq4JicsTjMdTc/s1600/IMG_1034.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahKzr_SqdSCnEjFdkWI0Ts2r8ProZjC3vyL8iLSVR4Nl03S2GZxfOVwa1OSCHjNxMITXry0-Dq636lYl0gQBxHri-IUSJtQO87Ot_w-PCWEagy8VY8l4Ezt8BphiaaRCq4JicsTjMdTc/s400/IMG_1034.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573009070644988450" /></a>A little feature of my designs in todays paper.Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00273794400197469255noreply@blogger.com8
