#31b the goat pattern - printed onto tote bags.

Before in blog number #31, i showed you a design, of goats repeated in a pattern, (see left) i thought i had mentioned my plans to screen print it onto canvas bags - well it seems i didn't mention it, but here are some photos. 

They can be bought in a shop in Whitstable called 'Pearl and Hemmingway', they come in this grey, and the 'UCA green'.

They might be for sale at our Folksy Store at some point in the near future - so keep an eye out.

You may have also noticed that i've set it as my background - gives you a better idea of what its like on a larger scale. :) I hope you like it, if you do, let me know and i might think about printing it on more things.  

#25 sock it to me

The card sale went well we raised around about the mark of £100, FROM CARDS! :D we really appreciate everyone who made a design and helped out manning the shop, folding and trimming. unavoidably we still have some designs left over, so if you want any cards (they're not all valentines) i will be posting some up around the internet in the next few days.

 I have entered a competition today for sock brand 'sock it to me' http://www.sockittomesocks.com/design.html through the Print and Pattern blog, http://printpattern.blogspot.com they just want some interesting designs... so i thought the crumpets and crabsticks would be an interesting 'thing' on a pair of socks, and i really should be doing my uni work, so i whipped one up real quick in illustrator... you can send in up to 5 designs, so i think i might do some more during the week.

Yeh... tell me what you think, i really like doing patterns and fabric design, but its all a bit new to me, so we'll see.

#22 a few valentines cards

I'm not a massive fan of Valentines, i've only ever got a handful of cards from boyfriends, and never one from an annonymous sender :( i hate the way they're always a little too cutsey, and i find them a little cringe-worthy. So i tried a few more of my own... i left words out because i think its the words that make me feel uncomforable, and when you're trying to explain how you feel, the words that come pre-printed in a card, often, cant get it 100% right, (this is probably due to watching the film 500 Days of Summer)

#11 the bags have been printed

Here it is. On Sale Thursday 09th December, Prints also availble.

 ...And christmas cards

 

#10 Return of the Monkey Bag design

#8 mainly monkey

 We're screen printing and selling totebags at uni in order to raise money for our journal/ cataloque that we want published to hand out/sell at our final exhibition. theses are just some roughs i've been doing for the tote bag designs... my project work wasnt really suitable for bags, i dont think. also we are really limiting ourselves to one colour...
