Printing the print.

December 9, 2008 in Random

Well, as some may know by now I go to an art school named Sunderby Konstskola. While it’s not really at uni degree I still think I’ve gotten quite a treat in my art life from it. Currently, I’ve had about 5 weeks of textile design and printing. Meaning that we print on textiles.
So here’s a few things that I’ve been working on! I still got about 4 T-shirts and 6 canvas bags waiting to be finished at school tomorrow, so I’ll bring some PROPER pimping and set up pictures of those tomorrow!

The bags, by the way, are to be sold! I just haven’t figured out the medium how to sell them yet, but I’m guessing some sorts of intranets.

Now for some Projects~

Owls and Apples.

This is the first printing design that we got to work on. To make an pattern and be able to use it on bigger pieces of cloths etc to create a fluid pattern with no seams!  It’s supposed to become a pillowcase but I have plans to turn it into a scarf…

The Cake is a Lie Vintage T-shirt.

- I bought a Vintage T-shirt 2nd hand. It’s big and I sort of liked the current print since it’s already supposed to be Vintage… and Swedish to boot.

- I write the text I want on newspaper sort of paper. It’s basically the kind they use to print newspapers on (before printed ofc). Then I use my trusty scalpel and cut out the letters.

- 3rd, I place the paper with the cut out text on top of the T-shirt and proceed to place a canvas printing frame on top of it.

- Voila, the text has been mangled into the cloth =p! This T-shirt isn’t completely done yet.

Ohi Owls Canvas bags.

Here’s another project I’ve been working on. I’ve made 4 of them and are going to sell them. (Not for 35kr as my STUPID Swedish friends thought I Would!) This bag is not complete yet. I still need to attach the OHI bubble, the button eyes and the knitted ‘lace’ on top! The pattern on the Wings is my self created game pad pattern inspired by the standard Luis Vuitton pattern =)!
