limited edition

Early last week, I had the chance to finally reclaim (US term) or strip (Canadian term) the photo stencils on several of my screens.

Going, going...

Pears be gone...

With the aid of emulsion remover  (US term) or "stripper" (Canadian term), and the power washer at CTS (bottom left image), getting the photo stencil off is a rather easy task to perform. The picture on the far right represents the "ghost" image that sometimes remains on the screens after repeated use. These imprints will not affect the next stencil on the screen, but they do become a testimony of projects past.

The tea towels produced in the late fall last year are now absolute limited editions, making them even more precious. They will be available through the inkfibre EtsyShop (opening soon),  another step in the daunting world of entrepreneurship. I just need to fully understand what I'm getting myself into. WWYS--What Would Yoda Say? His comment would definitely be: "Business woman you are not". Indeed. I'm eager to learn, though.

As of right now, the only designs that will continue to be printed are Talavera, and most certainly Pears, the latter one as a new design (or designs, we'll see). In the meantime, a fresh batch of motifs and repeats is on the works, "coming soon to a pillow near you".
