Oh, but I did participate in a t-shirt screen printing workshop (part of the Four Elements Convention 2010) about two weeks ago. The first afternoon was dedicated to drawing the design and on the second we printed our tees. Although, for some weird reason, only two (including me) of the ten people came on the second day (I think they may have missed the shuttle car to the atelier because they were mostly the sort of people who come three hours too late). My design does not satisfy me 100%, though. I expected that there would be some kind of guidance or "teaching" for designing a t-shirt, but it was simply, "OK guys, you've got three hours to draw something that you want on your shirt. Here are some pens!". It was fun anyway, but had I known this before, I would have thought about it at home in advance. However, it's not too bad for a spontaneous thing. I'm just being my usual perfectionist self who would have liked to make the most of the rare opportunity to screen print. To cut a long story short, here's the result (The tee is even made of organic cotton and fair trade! Check out Zerum. They are a small Austrian label and led the workshop. They really rock!):
Also, I finished the first issue of my perzine Cinnamon Insanity, which I mentioned in my last post. Already approximately two weeks ago, actually. I've made 20 copies and then the typical insecurities crept in and I started wondering what to do with them because I didn't dare to show this to anyone. Ridiculous. So here it is, I've been brave and put some on my etsy shop where you can find out more.
Unfortunately, my lunch break is over. And because I'm a responsible, reasonable girl (since, err, yesterday) I'll go back to working now, after finishing my tea, which will most probably be cold by now (which is preferable anyway at these temperatures).
