Canberra Christmas Catch-up

The Canberra Prefects have been bitten by the seasonal crazy bug and we've been a bit distracted by all the shiny pretties to get info out to our lovely Owls! Can you forgive us?

Hopefully you can, and can join us for a final fling for the year.

Saturday 18th December, 2:00 onwards at Tilley's Divne Cafe at Lyneham.


BYO craft (maybe a chance to finish off those last lingering gifts?), and if you'd like to, a secret santa crafty gift to the value of $10 for swapping.

There's no need to RSVP, we'll book a table and all you need to do is turn up.

Hope to see you there!

Naomi, Bron, Michelle and George xo

Brisbane Owls: Last meet up for 2010!


RSVP now for the last Brisbane meet up for 2010: Screen printing or BYO craft!



We're so excited to announce another very special Brisbane meet up with Ellie from Red Seed Studio. Ellie has kindly invited Brown Owls back to her fabulous studio for a little screen printing workshop or for those who prefer to work on their own craft we'll have a special space at the studio for you to stitch, knit or crochet to your heart's content!

Date: Sunday 21 November

Time: 10:30am-12:30pm. If you're screen printing you're welcome to come a little earlier to get started on your work.

Venue: 24 Vanda St, Woolloongabba, 4102 (parking is avail in the front yard, and some on street, but it's a residential street, so don't know weekend parking situations. There's sure to be parking on Logan Rd as well. Closest train station is Buranda (about 3 mins walk), and buses go along Logan Rd often).






About the Screen Printing Workshop

There is a limit of 10 people for this workshop so it's first in best dressed. You can either email brisbanebrownowls@gmail.com to book your place or leave a comment on this blog post. If you miss out and there is enough interest we'll run it again for the November meet up.

Cost: $20 each - this includes the inks and all printing stuff needed. Ellie has very kindly waived her tutoring fees so that we can take advantage of this very low price!

About the class: Learn the basics of screen printing onto fabric in this fun class. You'll hand cut your own stencils, using your original designs (Ellie will be there to help with design inspiration!), and then print using a blank screen and toxic-free printing ink. There is a lovely little table in the 'printing shed' (the garage), set in a quiet garden with lots of natural light and space.
Due to the short crafting time, if you work on a design idea before the day, that will increase your printing time available. Simple, bold designs often work best. Remember - you'll be hand cutting the design, so don't make anything too complicated.



What to bring:

* The cost of the workshop doesn't include any material / fabric to print onto however Ellie has 100% linen tea towels available for the special wholesale price of $5 each. If you would like to purchase some of these please leave a comment or email Ellie at redseedstudio@gmail.com so Ellie can make sure there are enough. Ellie may also have some linen and hemp / organic cotton at wholesale price (if anyone's interested, they can email Ellie at redseedstudio@gmail.com).

* Alternatively you can bring plain fabric, tea towels, tote bags (not too thick), t-shirts, singlets, onesies, pillow cases, cut fabric for a certain project (eg - the bodice of a dress, or a skirt panel, etc). Also thick card is nice to print on - to make posters or cards. Cut to size, or one big piece. (Smaller is better as a hand cut stencil is easier and quicker to cut if it's smaller. and 2 - 3hrs isn't a lot of time for intricate designs).

* Please bring an old shirt or apron to wear, as well as some scraps of calico or other fabric to use for test printing. If you have a hair dryer, please bring that along as well (to help dry the fabric quicker for more printing).

* If you have cutting boards, the sort used for stanley knives and cutting blades, not the quilting ones please bring them along.

* and don't forget your design ideas!



Or BYO craft
We'll be setting up a cosy little area in the lounge room or if the weather's nice out in the garden for those who would like to work on their own crafting. Rebecca and Sam will be there to help out with anyone wanting to learn the basics of crochet, knitting, embroidery or if you have any crafty questions/problems we'll do our best to help solve them :)

Everyone: Bring along a fold up chair, picnic blanket, cushions or something to sit on. Tea and coffee will be provided but feel free to show off your baking skills by bringing along some morning tea.


RSVP: Please rsvp by commenting on this post or email brisbanebrownowls@gmail.com by Wednesday 17 November.

Look forward to seeing you then!

Nords Wharf Owls


The Nords Wharf Brown Owls will be meeting this Tuesday evening 9th November,
at the Nords Wharf Hall,
Marine Parade, Nords Wharf from 7-9pm. 

It's time to start thinking about making something creative and unique for Christmas.  So why not come along and either start something new
or finish something old?

Canberra Brown Owls - 21st November

Back by popular demand, this month we'll be freezer-paper stencilling! This is a really simple technique that produces fabulous results on fabric.

Have a look here at the freezer paper Flickr group for inspiration:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/fpstencils/


Image from here

You'll need to bring:
  • a photocopy/printout of a design you want to stencil,
  • something you want to stencil on to (t-shirt, tea towel, fabric),
  • a pencil for tracing the design on to the freezer paper,
  • an exacto or paper cutting knife, and
  • a plastic lid or some kind of paint palette
  • $6 for the room hire.
For the princely sum of $3 we can provide you with a 50cm length of freezer paper, and access to fabric medium, paint (black, white, red, blue and yellow) and brushes. If you're a quilter you may already have access to your own freezer paper, or you can bring your own paints. You can buy a piece of freezer paper for $1, or some fabric medium (turns regular paint into fabric paint) for $1. Let us know if the comments if you want a the 'package' or just freezer paper.

Here are some great places to start looking for a stencil or for a bit of information about the process. Best to try something simple to start with.

http://painting.about.com/od/freestencils/tp/free-stencils.htm
http://www.stencilry.org/stencils/
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=140.0
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=154651.0

And try using the image function to search Google for possible stencil images too.

Look forward to seeing you there - Sunday 21 November at 1:30 at the Downer Community Centre. Leave your RSVP or any questions in the comments, and let us know if you need supplies. Don't forget - $6 for the room hire and a plate of something yummy to share if you're so inclined!

Canberra Gocco round-up!

Hi all!

I am happy to report that the Canberra Owls enjoyed a fabulous Sunday afternoon of Gocco-ing.



Michelle and Jo were kind enough to bring along their machine to give us a demonstration, and also had some examples of what they've been printing since their Gocco arrived - perfect inspiration!



And just look at some of the beautiful prints our clever owls made:









And, just when we thought things couldn't get better, George arrived with a giant bowl of her waffle batter and brand new waffle iron - she and her helpers kept us in delicious fresh warm waffles all afternoon!



Next month's meet will be held on Sunday November 21 - keep an eye out for details here on the blog really soon! We're planning on re-visiting one of our favourite crafts from last year: freezer paper stencil! In the meantime, you can check out the fun we had with freezer paper last time here!

New! Welcome to Moreton Bay Brown Owls!

Moreton Bay Figs :: Ficus macrophylla

Yay!

I am very excited to announce a brand-new chapter of Brown Owls - Moreton Bay, QLD!

This came about when fellow BrisStylette Mel from Moose and Bird and I had a chat at a recent BrisStyle event and realised we practically live down the road from each other... and that going all the way into the city for Brown Owls is a big trek!

So - a new beginning for some crafty girls - and we want to find some more people to join in! If you know anyone who lives in Moreton Bay shire north of Brissie (Caboolture, Bribie, Redcliffe etc) who you think would be up for some monthly crafty get-togethers, please send them my way!

To all Brownies

Hi all Brown Owls! The Finnish Brown Owls (=still only me) would like to challenge you all to make softies for Mirabel. It is a charity much closer to you than to me. The distance has not prevented me from being a Brown Owl for three years already, nor from making softies for a good cause. You can read more about the Mirabel foundation and Pip's appeal here.

Here is my this year's softie, all recycled and whipped together in a very short time. The Flickr group has lots of links to free patterns, and you can get good ideas from the pictures of earlier years. I have my own blog post with links to my previous softies for Mirabel here.



    


The Mirabel projects have always been my Brown Owls activities as well. Last year I knitted two bunnies for my knitting badge and sent the results to Mirabel. I hope you will take my challenge and make at least one toy in every group of Brown Owls. Kids need toys for Christmas!

Fabric Manipulation Workshop: ADELAIDE!!

Dear Owls,

Next Wednesday the crafty Emma will be teaching us some fabric manipulation techniques. Come and learn how to manipulate a simple piece of fabric with a needle and thread into a beautiful texture - the possibilities are endless.



Techniques taught will be taken from the book "The Art of Manipulating Fabric" by Colette Wolff.



Supplies to bring on the night:
  • ~1m square of a flat light coloured fabric (Emma will provide calico for $2 if you prefer, just mention this in your RSVP comment)
  • needles
  • thread to match your fabric
  • scissors
  • pins
  • 30cm ruler / measuring tape
  • fabric markers
When: Wednesday October 27th
Time: 7-9:30pm
Where: The Box Factory, Regent Street South, Adelaide

Canberra - 24 October - go go gocco

Hello Owls!

This month is 'Goctober' in Canberra, as the lovely Michelle and Jo have offered to bring along their Gocco machine to our next meet, on Sunday October 24th!

lovely Gocco print journal cover from Michelle's blog


For anyone wanting to try their hand at making their own Gocco prints the girls will have kits available for $15 - this will cover the costs of bulbs and one screen each (which is enough to print one design on either fabric or paper). From one inked screen you get about 4-5 decent post-card sized prints.

Please prepare the design you would like to make your Gocco print from in advance to bring along on the day - it needs to be postcard sized and either drawn with a carbon pen or photocopied on a toner copier. You will also need to bring along what ever you would like to print on to - paper/card or fabric are fine.

Orders for the necessary Gocco bits and pieces will have to be done this week to make sure we have everything in time for our meet, so if you would like to make your own Gocco prints you need to RSVP in the comments below with your request for a kit by this Thursday October 14th

Making the Gocco prints won't take very long, so please also bring along something else to work on too =) (seeing what my clever owly friends are crafting up is my favourite part!!)

If you would like to know more about Gocco there is a great overview here, and if you have any specific questions please let us know and we will pass them on to Michelle and Jo! =)

As usual we will be meeting from 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm at Downer Community Centre. Please bring along $6 for room hire, as well as $15 for your kit if you want to Gocco, and a small plate of something for afternoon tea if you would like.

Don't to forget to RSVP below by Thursday 14th October to order a kit if you would like to make your own Gocco print!

Can't wait to see you then! =)
