Hawaii, my dream, my passion.

At one period we had classes about textile printing and fabric dyeing. It was fun! :D

Here is photos of what I did.

At first, after you have choose the photo, you need to cut the stencil. For that you need a surgeon knive. you can buy those from the pharmasy, or some craft stores. And those knives are extremely sharp! No, for some reason I didn't cut myself.. Much.. Just a little bit, but I wasn't even bleeding.

 



 

 

Doing my printing.

 

 

 

 

I also draw one turtle photo myself. Those three ones.

 

 

 

 

 

Then we tried another technique. We transformed photos to screens. Or is that the right word? I don't know. Anyway you see that from the photo later. This is my photo that I put there at first.. But.. I'll tell you later.. :D

 

 

 

This is the screen (or what ever). So, what I messed up. In this photo that screen is upside down. Can you guess what happened when I turned it around. That text was backwards. Nice try Leila! :D

 

I made a new screen! And it was kind of a good thing the first one messed up, because this second one was way better!!

 

 

 

 

Then we also dyed fabrics. I look so prettyyyy! :D

 

 

 

I'm just showing only some of the fabrics I made. These look like spines! :D

 

 

This was the zebrapattern. And then I put that turtle there just for fun.

 

And between the spines some nice flowers. 

 

 

This was the thing I really planned. I'm going to do some pillowcase of that, as soon as I have time.

 

Aloha kekahi i kekahi - Love one another

Ohana Mau Loa - Family Forever

 

I don't speak hawaiian that much so I don't know can you say Ohana Mau Loa, but there it is. :)

 

 And then.. This is my second big puzzle. I got it for Christmas present, because I had talked to my family that the first one I bought is panorama and thats why I don't find any frames on it. Because I wanted it to my wall. So my sister bought this for me. Now it's on my wall. My pic of the paradise. <3 :)

 

So like you might have a clue what is my passion, it is Hawaii. One day I will travel to Hawaii, I have to!! I just love the culture and the nature. Even I have just seen videos and photos, from internet and from tv. Still. I haven't just watch the tourist stuff. I love the whole thing, all the Islands.

 

So now I gotta stop and go. I'm having dinner with my roommate and my sister. Girls night!

 

Mahalo for reading this! Aloha! <3 :)

Long time no seen!

I have been too busy doing the Finnish blog and other stuff, so I forgot this blog.

I'm gonna try to do this shortest possible, because I have tons of thing to share!
This first post is about our second period. The Shirt Period! :D

So this time we made a shirt for ourselves. I had a great idea but it didn't came up like that. Damn..

 

Like you can see, the plan was kind of awesome! To the shoulders I was planning some chains. Yea, planning.. You'll see.

 

 

We took the patterns from computer, program named Grafis.

 

 

After we had checked the patterns in small size, we printed the real size patterns. You don't see much, because i didn't get better photo. Sorry. :D

 

 

 

 

Then I started desing the patterns. And it wasn't that easy as it seems. But I made it.. After all the struggle.

 

 

 

 

HERE IT IS! It's ok I think. But I don't know what happened. At school it lookes kind of ook, but I at home one day when I put it on... Guess what.. It didn't look good anymore.

Just my luck or something.

 

 

The coolest thing in that shirt was the buttons. :D I know, I'm just that good. ;)

 

I also made this vest. And I LOVE IT! I just didn't have time to put button to the front, and I still haven't. But one day, one day I will. :D

 

 

Okey that was it, sealed version. :D
