Postal goodies

Some more exciting deliveries arrived today... I was the lucky winner of Kate's 

giveaway. Two fabulous Japanese craft books - they are so gorgeous! 

Thanks Kate :)

The patterns are so easy to follow with great diagrams... I actually find them

much easier to follow than their wordy English counterparts.

AND my fluorescent wool arrived... (it's very bright!)

I ended up getting it from here and it was rather reasonable in cost but the 

postage was prohibitive! Not sure I would have bought it if I'd known the 

postage cost beforehand (there was no viewing of it until it had all gone 

through... don't you hate it when sites do that?)

Also, I was in the city today and saw this at Gorman... I couldn't believe my eyes! 

Funny how designs are nowhere and then suddenly they are everywhere! 

Weird actually... ;) Maybe it's simply a case that it's always there but you only 

notice it after you have something the same, like with cars or prams etc?

Hope you've had a great week!

Ink Giveaway

My printer died the other week and I had to get a new one... 

Unfortunately, I couldn't get one which uses the same ink cartridges 

(of which I have many!) It infuriates me that they do this... but there you have it, 

I had no choice. But my loss could be your gain... I hope :)

If anyone can use these cartridges I'm happy to post them to you.

They are all Canon Pixma Series... two size 5 PGBK (black), 

two size 8 BK (black), two size 8 C (cyan), two size 8 Y (yellow), 

two size 8 M (magenta), one size 8 PC (photo cyan) and 

one size 8 PM (photo magenta).

I'm so hoping someone can use them! 


UPDATE: the ink has a happy home now - thanks Katherine! :)

Congratulations!

 Thank you to everyone who has supported my new blog and 

entered the Welcome to Paravent giveaway. 

After a rigourously random process, congratulations go to... 

Julie Gibbons who entered via the Paravent facebook page. 

Hope you enjoy your new teatowel Julie ;)

Hello!

Hello there! Welcome to my new blog :) If you know me from 3 Sheets, 

thank you so much for following me over here.

I love the idea of a folding screen – or 'paravent' -– for its quirky play on words with 

screen printing but also for its imagery of layers and folds. I think it fits right in here

where I intend to focus on textile design, whether that be with screen printing and 

block printing, or with crochet and embroidery.

To celebrate my new name I'm having a giveaway on the Paravent facebook page, 

but if facebook isn't your thing you can follow this blog to be in the running 

for a hand screen printed Paravent tea towel :)

I'll be running this giveaway until the end of the month. 

The winner will be randomly selected on Sunday 27th May.

Tell your friends and thanks again for popping in :)
