Printing the Bash Bags for the Spring Bash!

We do a ton of work putting on the Spring Bash and Jingle Bash in Dallas each year. One of our favorite things to do to help get ready for the big day is to print the Bash Bags. These are 50 canvas bags stuffed full of handmade goodies for the first 50 shoppers to receive...for free! Heck yeah!!
For this Spring Bash Pamela made the artwork for the bags and Dylan screenprinted them in our little 2 car studio. We say 2 car studio, because our studio is actually converted from our old two car garage.
What's great about printing in the Studio is that we can open up a whole wall to the outside on nice days like today with just a click of a button. We sure will miss that if we ever move to a different studio.

After Dylan prints the Bags, they get to sit and dry. These are the back sides of the bags with our top sponsor, South Side on Lamar and our logo. This is like their beauty rest before they're big reveal.

If you're interested in getting your hand on a Bash Bag, do make sure you are at the Spring Bash extra early. We have people wait in line hours before we open our doors to get their hands on these babies. Also hit up the Bash website for all the exciting Spring Bash info.

We'll see ya there on Saturday April 30th!

Getting Ready - Part Dos!

This is just a few shots form Dylan's day today. He was (and still is) in the studio printing tees, and bags for the Grand Opening this Saturday. So here's a quick peek at Dylan's tee making extravaganza.

Silkscreening is tough to master and even tougher to explain, so let's try shall we. First step, put a shirt on you tee board.

Second Step: Maneuver oxymoron future robot looking machine from the Middle Ages over shirt. This is where the magic happens....do 3 back flips, spin in counter clockwise circles, touch your toes, shout " and jump really high in the air. Now the key to getting this right is the last jump. If you don't jump really high, you'll anger the Middle Ages part of the machine and it'll turn into a trebuchet and fling ink at you. (maybe)

If you get that just right - BOOM! Magic screenprint action! Now do your happy dance.

Ok, so i might be fibbing a little, but we did make stuff today. Like our new YeeHaw Kitty tee. Meow ow ow!

And just a glance at maybe a quarter of Dylan's job today. Look'n good.

See you soon!
