Silk screens and other shenanigans
Hello my darlings,
We’ve had a lot of great feedback from fans and friends for our new website and I’m so happy that most of you like it! :-)
Lately I have been experimenting with making Nista related fashion items and I’m completely enjoying it. I went out and got myself a silk screen printing kit (sounds very fancy, but it’s basically pantyhose stapled to a wood frame and some paint). I’ve done one screen and made some test prints and I’m thrilled with the results and how much fun this is. Here is a little snapshot of my workstation
This is just the first experiment and I haven’t got he whole “print-in-one-swoop-maneuver” down yet, but I’m getting there. If you have any suggestions, tips or comments feel free to tell me about them. And yes, that is a tiger clown.
I’ve also started making some accessories and I’m a little bit scared that nobody will like to wear these things…they might be too kitschy and weird. Glitter birds, leopard print and tassels? What do you think?
My fingers were completely bust after braiding the cotton yarn for the necklaces…and it took forever!!!
Once I have the screen printing down I will post images of the shirts and stuff in our online store. Oh, and on that note, we need models to pose for us wearing them and the accessories. If you or anyone you know might be interested, send us an e-mail at info@nistamusic.com
Peace&Love,
Stina
