They are selling these great little block printing resources from a shop called
Tiger UK along with quite reasonable cutting tools as well.
 |
| The printing block set is £2 and the cutting tools are £5 |
 |
| The printing block set also comes with 4 pieces of tracing paper to help transfer your design |
 |
| I experimented with both lino-ink and Indian-ink. The better, clearer result was using Indian ink applied using the ink pad. |
I had great fun making the block and printing the images. Several of the prints have been made into cards that have been sent to friends and family. I have got some ideas about how I could use these blocks to print something onto some of my me-made garments.
This is awesome! I wish I'd seen the block printing kit! You could make a killer greetings card with that - a bit of embroidery and it would be perfect. X
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie.Yes the printing kits are great value!
DeleteThis looks fantastic! Thanks for the info; I've been thinking of having a go for a while, mainly for fabric. Jen
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, Yes I am planning on printing up some fabric too!
DeleteMarimekko pencils! So you :) The printing looks fun, can imagine lots of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex!
DeleteSo beautiful, love those pencils
ReplyDeleteHi Carolee - the pencils were a birthday present x
DeleteThat looks like SO much fun. Could you print your own fabric? That would be awesome! I can imagine a motive like this on a patch pocket, or on an apron front as a house warming gift.
