Hand Printed - Kim's Flower


 Made a new stamp for my internet buddy and new friend Kim.  It kind of reminds me of a hibiscus flower and has a little bit of a Hawaiian feel when printed in blue. I actually didn't know what I was going to print for Kim, I thought a couple of panelled strips and a larger piece of fabric might be able to be utilised together in some project she dreams up. Check out her lovely quilt in progress at Sarah Lizzies





Also completed a new panel for the Lotus Flower Quilt. New one below , followed by original where I dropped my stamp right in the middle of the quilt

    So light, so fragile.

    Monique, what material have you used for your carvings? I have bought some lino to try but find it so stiff and difficult to work with. I'm also in Australia.
    Do you sell your printed fabric?

      Thanks karen, I use ezycarve rubber blocks around $16 for about 20cm x20cm but you get a few stamps out of it. I use lino carving tools to carve the stamp
      I can sell fabric if you want smaller pieces the bigger you go the harder it is to get good printing all over - its a little dodgy alway getting an even print but generally when things are made up you dont notice so much
