I do like a proof. Yes, they’re necessary to check quality – but there’s also something lovely in their utility. Colour strips. Registration marks. And on a giclée test giclée print, details of all of the prints lined up like a colour swatch…
The test for my Hello, Petal exhibition prints seemed too nice to waste. So I’ve turned it into a mini-collection for my Teemill shop. Therein lies more reuse: the tee is designed to be sent back and remade and the packaging for both items is recycled, recyclable and plastic free.
Did I mention reuse of knowledge? That’ll be the crossover of illustration, design and print production.
Resource, rethink, reuse – it’s nice when that happens.
See the collection here. There's just time to get 10% off to celebrate Earth Day – use code EARTH10 until midnight 23 April (BST).
Hello, Petal is my exhibition of botanical prints, sketches and textile pieces at Springfield Park Café, Springfield, London E5 9EF, 24 April - 11 June 10am - 4pm. Meet the artist Saturday 10 May 10.30am – 3.30pm
