Back Yard Back in June
For those of you who have been following the back yard guide to screen printing you may have wondered what has happened to it ?
May is madness month in our family "too many birthdays", including mine So I have taken a break from the posting but not the writing and planning. The "Guide will recommence during June once things settle down in the Rainbows Home and Studio. So keep laying with what you know and experiment! experimentation is the key to creativity!

Dyeing Rainbows
I have been playing around dyeing poly resin snaps with disperse dyes. I have posted some I have done already in the store
There are a variety of colours available with matching posts and studs. I have dyed the posts and studs in softer than commercial colours so they do not clash with the hand dyed ones.
The multicolours, however have been a challenge set by a friends request!
RAINBOWS!!
They were a challenge believe me! I am not quite there yet I will be doing some more playing before I post these for sale!

Next BYGSP Back Yard Guide To Screen Printing
The next instalment is almost ready to go I intend to post it on Wednesday Night.
In the meantime if you are following it You may want to join a little artists network group I have called The Rainbow Cafe It is a place where artists can discuss things and post examples of their work! I have started a blog post where you can ask questions during your progress you may also post pics to your own albums of your efforts as you learn.
The Cafe has been a little quiet of late as I have been busy elsewhere It would be nice to have some new members and discussions happening
Regards Julie
