We have become terribly erratic bloggers I am sorry. It has been such a busy year. I (Bronwen) have been on a mission to make a batch of cushions. I have been hand silk-screening with Jik onto 100% cotton fabrics. Coloured 100% cotton that responds well to bleaching is not easy come by, so when I found the beautiful red that bleaches out to become the beautiful yellow I was over the moon. I have used the same screens as I made for my limited edition prints and have added a few. Before I show you the results, I need to pick your brains. If there are any Durban readers that know of a good CMT (cut make and trim) please let me know as I can not possibly take on the zip sewing of 50 cushions.
In between cushions I have been up tp JHB where I found this wonderful old biscuit maker thingy and look at the results - if I had posted this yesterday there would have been a myriad more bikkies, but alas these are all that are left of my batch.
