One of the flags has a tatted butterfly on it.
This will end up being a pillow. Believe me, I held my breath when I added these to the pillow top! One mistake and it's ruined! Pheww!

I MUST HAVE SPRING FEVER
All I want to make these days is spring, nature, and birdie things! Last week I learned how to make my own screen print stencils. I think it is a printing method that is going to be making a come back, along with block printing. I only managed to design two, a bird on a leafy branch and a chubby, little bumble bee. Oh, I forgot about the moth. I made these spring, nature banners out of the sample pieces that I printed, along with some rubber stamps of leaves and hand printing. ( In England, they are called buntings). They look rather raw and raggedy, but that's what I like. I'm going to be making more in different color themes, hopefully with more bird designs and nests. Some of them will make their way to the Kane Co. Flea Market in 2 weeks. This is my 146th post! after 4 more posts, I will do the drawing! So get as many comments in as you can so that your chances of winning will be greater! And remember, if you tell others about this give-away on your blog, you will earn 5 more chances to win! And to all of you who have been commenting and telling others, THANK YOU! I have been meeting a lot of new bloggers and they are all great! One of the flags has a tatted butterfly on it.

Really nice work. Love the little bird! I'm all about the birdies lately!
Your screen print stencils are fabulous! Love the fabrics, little stitches and scraps of lace! Perfection!
Your screen prints turned out great! I think I have spring fever, too, cuz I LOVE everything with birds & butterflies! I have a table runner with the same butterfly on it! I'm looking at it right now!!!! :) Your pillow will be gorgeous when it's done...it already does! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! So brave with those rubber stamps! Love the bunting!

These are wonderful...I made white triangle ones since I am on this neutral kick...but I didn't add any screen print...and now I have them made and am too chicken I would ruin them...I have 6 pillows ready to sew up- more birds and some Frenchie words/Eiffel Tower mix I made...In one box at the auction I found the fabric- kind of a cream lineny type weave...so I used it. And I got a bag of burlap that I used in a spring triangle banner...The auction was FAB- I got some great glass jars that Judy might make into terrariums...or I might put bulbs in...I'm wanting daffodils pretty bad...
You my dear, go to amazing lenghts to make beautiful art. Screen printing...that is just gorgeous! The banner turned out beautifully. Always a treat to see what you'll do next.

These are fabulous! I can't wait to see them in two weeks. Let's hope the weather stays manageable! I'd love to learn screen printing and I'll bet you're right. I bet it does make a comeback! - Kathy
These both are so gorgeous to me!!! I absolutely love the banner and look forward to seeing the pillow finished...beautiful artwork!!!! hugs and love, Dawn
Oh Judy...these would be lovely as
nature prayer flags...sending gentle energies of healing to mother earth.
I live in the woods..may I borrow your idea?
Blessings

These are very pretty and can be made with scraps, so quite green as well.
I, too, have Spring Fever...but I sure haven't been creating like you. Your banner is superb. I love the chubby bumble bee. How fun it must be to do the screen printing.
