Radical - a new range of gift cards (and there's a new milk bar print)

New things in the shop this week - gift cards that are full of colour and pattern. The RADICAL set features five cards, which you can buy individually or as a pack. They’re printed in Australia, on 100% recycled card stock, and come with a kraft envelope. Send one to a mate to let them know you miss them (thanks COVID) and you’ll brighten their day!

And there’s a brand new milk bar art print. This one’s in West Footscray and is still around, selling mixed lollies (and phone cards). My favourite thing about this illustration? All the bricks and tiles. Totally worth the RSI :)

Dots and flowers

The making of new continues! So some more new things have been posted in the shop, including Dots Mugs (to go with the dotty milk jugs) and a new print called Slow Down, which is A4/8x10" and is printed on textured canvas paper. Happy Friday to you.

New things

Just a quick post to share some new things I've been working on! The brand new tea towel, Fishes, is my first proper two-colour screen printed design and I'm so happy with it (and not just because I'm a Piscean). It's based on drawings I did earlier this year and certainly has a Scandi vibe and printed on 100% pure white European line. A limited number are now available in my shop and the Etsy shop.

Also new is an art print called Fish, which features more hand drawn...fish! It's printed onto the most lovely textured paper and fits A4/8x10" frames. It's in both this shop and Etsy too.

There will be shop updates each day this week, so keep an eye out for more new things. These one-off plates will be online tomorrow!

Oh, and in non-Spin Spin news, I've started *another* Instagram account, this time in my own name. So if you want to see what else I take photos of (mainly houses that are falling apart, sausage dogs, old buildings, old signage and plants) go forth and follow.

New fabric and quilt WIP

I've had a busy few weeks screenprinting a big new batch of fabric, which has just been added to the shop. This process started out with me figuring which of my designs go with which ink colour and onto which basecloth. I also tested each of my custom-mixed ink colours on each basecloth (you can see the swatches below). That was the fun part! Then came trying to Tetris all the printing in my small studio (see image further below!)

Next is to start working on another quilt, to add to my WIP collection (why finish one when you can start another, right). Maybe I should aim small (like the last photo below) - a practical lap quilt that takes about three pieces of fabric and not too long to make. I've also been planning on making a quilt pattern and *big* fabric packs, so watch this space.
