Sometimes you just need a little push (at least I do anyway), and this month I got just that from my dear friend Melissa over at A Happy Stitch. Melissa invited me to take part in a hand printed fabric swap organised by Maze and Vale.
Having never considered printing onto fabric before,
it was just the little nudge I needed to give it a go. So I joined and was happily surprised with how some of the prints came out. I also really enjoyed the process of linoleum cutting. Am actually now thinking of making a few hand printed linen skirts for the upcoming arts market next month.
As it was a the long election weekend here in Malta and I had all four children plus an extra one with me. I decided to include them all in the stamp designing and was especially impressed with the images they came up with! I will however have to show them in a later blog post because I am off now to the post office, my four fabric squares will soon be on their way to new homes in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US.

Fantastic! I'm so glad you joined in, I knew it was perfect for you. I remember our mad card-making evenings. Beautiful results! Maybe we need to swap a bit with each other, too. :)
ReplyDeleteVery sophisticated! I like the color of your textiles as well. Keep going :^)
