Or at least the physical labor. A quick, one-picture tour of where I make all the goods: 1. Ever-present roll of paper towels. Screenprinting is a messy business sometimes. 2. Gauzy material that will eventually be stretched over hoops to become a screen. 3. Finished...
So, I printed up some business cards for DA, for general purposes and also to serve as tags/labels to send out with the shirts. Check it out: Also, I had printed up a shirt for my friend Deb, whose birthday celebration was yesterday. Since she has received (and loved)...
Here's a quick preview of the next design that'll hit the DA shop. A bird on the wing. Or wind, in this case. This will be a fun one to experiment on with different color combos. UPDATE: This item is now up in the Etsy shop.
Target had Mossimo tees (super comfy) on sale, so I stocked up. Behold all of the possibilities! Edit: I didn't buy ALL of these today. This is just my shelf of stock

Here's a quick pic of the next design to hit the DD line. This is another thing I've been doodling for years. I'm currently working on blocking out the screen, which - as you'd imagine from the intricate details - will take awhile. Should totally be worth it in...
This past weekend I created a new screen, and printed it up. Behold, the Dragonflight Dreams dragon in wearable form! I'm keeping the blue shirt for myself, but will be printing up some dragon apparel for the Etsy shop this week.
Dragonflight Apparel is officially live! This blog will be where I announce new designs, explore/explain my process, ramble about things, etc. Bear with me for a little bit, as I know it's a bit sparse right now - more to come soon! At moment, I'm going through old...
