Three Roses Red…
is a little extra Valentine’s project.
It’s a screen printing piece.
That’s right,
I finally broke into my screen printing pack
by Louise Snook

Is that the one you bought last June?
That’s it.
I tried Louise’s screen printing workshop
at the Craft & Quilt Fair, and loved it so much
I bought one of her kits.
Nice. What have you made?
Tablemats.
They were for Valentine’s day,
but I forgot to post about it
Doh!
These things happen.
How does screen printing compare to
block printing?
I haven’t done much of either, but
screen printing is definately out in front
at this stage.
Why?
The finish is better.
Less pre-school.
But isn’t it more involved?
Not really,
especially if you use a ready made template.
Simply print, scalpel, screen print.
In no time you have two new table mats for
that extra Valentine’s Day.
That explains your stylised roses then.
Did you think they were my own design?
As if!
(you crack me up)
I have just noticed that your roses match
your napkins.
I made those too.
In fact,
I chose the fabric for my napkins first, & then
found a rose template to match.
(easy az)
Napkins & tablemats – nice work!
Why thank you.
Screen printing – the way forward!

I’ve only done screen printing once… in high school… this kit looks way simpler and i love the outcome. So lovely!
Looks great fun to do and they’ve turned out beautifully!
At high school? So not that long ago then!
