Grey blob 
Blue blobs
red blobs
black blobs
and yes I made about 6 so the photos might not match up exactly - the grey blob disappeared and the photos suck. BUT I learnt that the registration thing is not too bad and if you wanted the "offset" look then its even easier. The paper is a bit less forgiving than the fabric (I was using a fabric screen) so I was happy with the amount of squidges and blurrs. All of this so far has been using a stencil method of screen printing, I just need a bit of time so I can have a go at the screen filler type method. I am truly fascinated by this idea, its is so easy and yet can be so detailed and complicated...my head is awhirl I tell you !
And if it is OK with everyone I think it might be my turn to win the lottery tonight - I mean I seriously need to give up the day job and play with screens and ink and fabric.... hmm...wonder if there is a government grant for noodling and fardarkling ?
Got to be a grant for that Jodie, for sure! And with this little beauty in your portfolio, the grant is almost as good as yours.

Fardarkling is my new favourite word!
ReplyDeleteGreat blobs, Jod! Goodbye, day job.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Jodie, but sorry you are not winning the lottery because I need to, maybe we could share
ReplyDeleteI love your 'blobs'!
ReplyDeleteShould I be the one to win the triple rollover this week I shall gladly become your patron. 'K?
ReplyDeleteWell if there isn't a government grant for noodling and fardarkling yet, then I think we should vote one in!
ReplyDeleteWonderfoooool!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to the Lottery tonight - hope they found your numbers.
ReplyDeleteCute dude you have been creating.
Oh I hope you win.. I so want to see more...
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE it! I can just see that on a t-shirt for my four year old boy.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely wasted on a real-life job. Full-time noodling is your natural calling!!!
ReplyDeleteBound to be...a grant that is!! Just gotta find it, that's the thing, probably take you about 10 years...

There's a grant for EVERYTHING. Ya just need to find it. I love this guy! I think it turned out well. Seriously, I'm in love with a Rockin' Robot. ;0
ReplyDeleteHope you win the lottery! ;0
what does fadarkling mean- i may just throw it into a conversation tomorrow!
ReplyDeletea grant for fardarkling? well shoot, i wish! if you find out there is one or even a grant for transtwaddling you will let us all know?
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Jodie.
ReplyDeleteI think you're wise to avoid copyright issues!
Good luck with Lotto! ;-)
Love blob or blobs so envious of your creativity. This might come as a shock, but if you don't win tonight, don't give up your day job. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there are plenty of fardarklers out there who already have grants..so would it hurt them to give out one more! In the interest of all bloggers wanting to see and read more of those ideas swirling about your brain I think a huge grant should be issued immediately to one said..Jodie!
ReplyDeleteMy, what a talented little fardarkler you are!
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteI am so sure if you right the application 'just so' you could get that grant. There have been grants awarded for stranger things.

Oh shut up, this is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Will you please make my daughter some tiny little robot underwears? I LOVE this guy! He is just so cute, and looks like he really would understand her frustrations in that first few weeks of potty training... he has such an understanding little face!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Fardarkling is by far the best word I've ever read. You know, there are government agencies completely dedicated to making up words. I hear US Congressmen use them all the time.... :)
happy to do a joint submission to government to give up work.
ReplyDeleteOh i love the robotastic screen printing & fardarkling, clever. If you do win the lottery, please keep blogging from your yacht, island, jet, craft lair . . . love Posie
ReplyDeleteLooks like blob heaven. And inspired by your efforts I think I have found a local artist who will teach screen printing. I have been wanting to have a go for ages.
ReplyDeleteI hearby demand that you make more of these, lottery or no lottery!!! What a wonderful image...
ReplyDeletelooks great! I also love your word... fardarkling, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. My first tries with screen printing went so badly, I never picked it up again. You are a natural!
ReplyDeleteAnna
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you win the lottery so long as you let me win it the next time. ♥
Well. . . I think a lot of school children would miss out on a lot of fun without Miss Jodie . . . yours is really the most important job there is. . . making learning fun.
ReplyDeleteTry photo screen printing- you can really manipulate images. =)
ReplyDeleteScreen printing is really fun to play with! When I couldn't keep up with the handstitching for my cozies I got connected with someone who makes screenprinted t-shirts and went over to observe and learn the ropes.
ReplyDeleteI'm still ironing out the acutal coating and burning the screens but it's all great fun.
Good luck!
You are just a damn genius. That's all there is to it. Every single thing you do is wonderful and entertaining. Somebody ought to finance you. Bet those children at the library would miss you like crazy though. Michele
ReplyDeleteI say we set a 'Fardarkling Fund' especially for you Jodie and call for donations....tax deductable of course!
ReplyDeleteYour blogs are working out wonderfully well and yes it is ok by me you can win the lottery tonight but geezzz those lucky kids will miss when when you are a full time fardarkler:)hello to you from me who is now back visiting blogland:)
ReplyDeleteGreat blobs!!!
