Still more lessons to be learned, I'm sure, but I feel like I'm getting the knack of the screen printing process.. here with some new fabric backed patches, embellished with sequins and eyelets. all hand made and one of a kind, of course.

I've been learning silk screening!

..these patches are made with recycled denim and measure abut 2-1/2" x 3" I will sew a few on to hats and offer them at the market individually, as well.

I started with a photo- emulsion kit from Dahrma Trading and followed their instructions. The whole process is easier than I thought it would be and a lot of fun!
