I'm proud to present... our wedding invitations. Each and every one of them lovingly screen printed by Mr Purl and myself (neither of whom, for the record, had ever touched a silk screen in our lives before deciding to take it upon ourselves to master the photo emulsion method and do 2-colour printing of One. Hundred. and. Twenty. Invitations!!). The fabric is quite heavy, and has a funky botanical wallpaper-style print on the back.
We also managed to make a complete team effort of designing the waratah motif.
When Mr Purl first suggested screen printing the invites, it was kind of a joke, as we were talking about getting a silk screen for making some patches for Rat Patrol. But it somehow grew into something to be seriously considered... and to give him credit, they came out amazingly, and they're certainly different than your average wedding invite, which is what we were after! :)

Oh my goodness Neet! They are just beautiful! You clever chooks.
Oh they look SO UTTERLY COOL! Great job!! I hope all your plans with the Divine Debra are coming along nicely :)
Two months after the original post, but I have to say (if I haven't already?) that your invites are the PANTS. They're freakin' fantastic - absolutely awesome. Bring on October, eh?!
