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 :)
