A few weeks ago my 4 color silver press arrived.  Have had quite a time in getting all the little bits and pieces together for making the process run smoothly.  (getting the right printer for the films, buying a pressure washer, getting the little adjustments right, and remembering important steps lol) 

So last night the daughter and I did a quickie design (think we could have done better on the art but regardless)  I decided we were printing no matter what we did lol.

She wanted a Jacob and bella shirt to wear to the movie in about a month.  Not going to bore you with a ton of details but thought I would share the results (there are more photos and lots more details in the blog link here http://cohesivechaos.com/2009/10/the-monster-in-my-dining-room/

 

I'll try to get a photo of her actually wearing it so that you can see the print better later when she's home from school.  Opinions and thoughts greatly appreciated

I have about 5 minutes before I have to leave to pick up the kids from school but wanted to get this up before I go, just finished it and I'm real pleased (I'd posted last night for opinions on coloring the octopus)

So just to update a little - it's made with crayola model magic and the only 'tool' I used is a toothpick.  It took about 30 hours in total to make.

Opinions greatly appreciated!

I've been working non stop on this for a bit and am to a 'point' where I have to make a decision, I need to determine what color scheme to do for my octopus, I've included a few up close shots of bits of this it's rather tiny and I'm still adding color and blending a bit but could definitely use some input before I go much further
Last shot is with a double A battery just to show the scale.

Whee I'm glad it arrived   I didn't get to send the jar filled  It wouldn't fit in the box with the stuff in it  but I did post pictures of the jar filled here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=321717.0 and here is a pic of it so you don't have to go link jumping if you don't wanna

I made this fabric vase for a container for the jar of whimsies swap, and since my partner received I figure I can show it off a little   My partner is pretty green so I made this using scrap pieces of fabric and timtex to make a vase, I liked it with the raw edges I thought it added to the overall feel of it.  It's 5 sided and forms a 'star' opening which I thought was super fun Would love your opinions and/or thoughts

I received yesterday, I put pictures in my gallery, I'll try to get pictures of the container and such tomorrow when it is sunny out (hoping for sunny)  Link above to my gallery of all the other pictures there are 15 pictures in there so I figure I'm being nice to bandwidth and servers

We were all new to the internet at some point .  I thought i would help It took a little creative thinking on my part but I worked out where your photos were but I found them and thought I'd help you share them













to get them into your main post, you can copy and paste the part I show below, and on your description of your fairy, there is a spot that says 'modify' paste this information in there and hit 'post'.  It'll get your pictures up where you want them to be

I was bored one morning (or procrastinating over cleaning off the table) and decided to toy around and make some things with the stuff I was meant to be putting up, the following is the result of that.  They incorporate lots of stuff into them clay resin ink pigment etc... And I've listed them in order of how much I like them lol.  They are very different from what I normally do but I quite love them.  Now just to decide if I am the kind of girl that can get away with wearing them. Thoughts and opinions most appreciated!

I had to enlist the help of my daughter to get a photo of this one.  And of course she ran her finger down the lens of my camera leaving a smudge, I'll attempt later to get a different photo of it without the smeary blur down the center.

It's made with gunmetal components, Magnesite and glass.  I think it's rather beautiful but would love to hear your thoughts/opinions.

I didn't mod the fit of the shirt at all, but I had to applique the skull and get back to my roots.  I used this skull on an evening gown recently (waiting for the opportunity to get good photos of it but need help with that)


This shot shows the colors a bit more true than the next but it's really somewhere between this and the next


and the full shirt

Planning on another tonight in different colors I think.  Would love comments,etc....
