JUST LISTED IN MY ETSY SHOP: NEW Black Tote Bags with GOLDEN designs. A fun new and stylish addition to my tote bags. Current designs available include Unicorn and Rocket Dog. More designs are in the works, so stay tuned.
Each bag is hand-printed by Yours Truly.
The other day I mentioned that I picked up some new inks for my screen printing press that GLOW IN THE DARK. I was finally able to use them yesterday afternoon. I am so pleased with how they turned out…
The color really TEALS the deal for me…
I absolutely love the teal color. I was a little nervous that the inks would be difficult to clean out of my screen (they weren’t!) and that they would be too transparent like my other glow-in-the-dark ink. Fortunately, they were not too transparent on a light-colored fabric. I did try making a print on some darker-colored fabrics and it was difficult to see the design. I will need to put a layer of white ink down if I want to print on darker fabrics.
I am sure you are wondering whether or not the ink actually glows too… IT DOES! Here are some photos I snapped with my camera. Unfortunately my camera did not take the best photos in the dark, but you can totally see the glowing. The actual glow was brighter than this. Too cool!
Let it GLOW!
I think these bags turned out great! And this glow was after a very short charge under a lamp. I think they are a cool bag for kids. (Or adults!)
For good planners: These would make excellent Trick-or-Treat bags!
Of course, they are available in the Pink Toe Press Etsy Shop.
Boo!
Just in time for October, this new tote bag is great for the upcoming season!!!
Made from an original illustration, this design is printed on cotton canvas tote bags. Can you guess the design? That’s right! It’s a Calavera from Dia De Los Muertos, or a Mexican Sugar Skull from “Day of the Dead”. I hand-drew the design and processed it in to a silk screen. More photos to come, and perhaps more colors too?
