Printing

This morning I headed to Brooklyn to select colors and watch the fabric get printed by hand. The printing studio did such a nice job. I wanted a slightly faded look for the print and they did that by only running the ink once over the screen. Also, the grey color they mixed was perfect. It turned out as I wanted, like pencil etchings on linen.

Sadly, my laptop died on me... something about Windows not working. I hope I can figure out how to fix it soon!
