t's for christmas?

Hi Guys, It's been very busy lately, lots of images flashing through my mind like faded memories.
It has been a lot of hard work and somewhat enjoyable pushing out products for others. Still looking to develop the business a bit more creatively, but, every business has to start somewhere.

Here's some pictures of some projects :)

Merry Christmas Everyone, I hope you liked your shirts!!

I'll post pictures once I know you've opened them :)

Sweet clothing I made for myself.

 

First I tried to make sushi an elfs hat, she looked at her reflection and immediately shook the hat off. Then feeling inspired I crocheted my first beret!

Then a few days later I printed this sweet crab and octopus onto some plush american apparel garments. Feeling pretty spoiled that I can create pretty much whatever I want. Excited for more creativity!

My neighbour August is a great guy. He is super melo and friendly. He is the local Graphic Designer and Sign Maker in Ucluelet. He gave me this order for the local laundry mat and I was super stoked at the opportunity to have a shot at working with local businesses.

This morning I prepared the screens to do some printing for the the the laundromat. This afternoon I will print the shirts... I am patiently waiting for my screens to dry.

One thing I've noticed for sure is that the humidity in Ucluelet really doesn't help the screen drying process. It took a few hours for my screens to dry. Back in Alberta when I worked in Bolli- slave dryin screen printing shop our screens dried so fast- approx 10 mins. What a world of difference!

Here's the prints, literally hot off the press!

Screen Printing

Hola,

Officially Billygoat Silk- Screen and Design is OPERATING!! I am so excited. With a lot of hard work from my awesome hubby, he has made it possible for me to facilitate my passion and operate my business.

So get ready to set sails with me in Ukee...

Also a very exciting prospect as been proposed to me about teaching classes. A summer schedule with details will be posted soon. Start brain storming and preparing your pictures... ahhh, sweet t-shirt heaven.

Sourced out some printing equipment... only had to catch two ferries. Travelled from Ucluelet to Campbell River(long drive)then caught the first ferry to Quadra Island and from there went to Cortez Island. It was a neat adventure and a great deal since the equipment was so far out of the way.

The feeling of coming home with all this equipment was quite overwhelming and exciting at the same time. Thanks to David and Julie for lending out the flatbed! Now to get all this stuff up a tiny flight of stairs to the second floor of the shop.
