Print Friday

I love everyday of my creative week sharing the studio and making art.

I often say I would like 'Ground Hog Day',

 so I could teach and share all day and then have the day 

again creating my stuff!

I prep each session, often many months in front so I can grow the

work and session. 

During the last week I have been making my own stamp blocks

from children's building blocks and bits and pieces 

around the studio.

These are now multi surfaced with print possibilities.

I then started printing in a sketchbook and fabric to try 

these out.

I have used knotted string, t-shirt trim, sequin waste, braid, plastic tub

 and ric rac. 

All applied with 'No Nails' as this is a glue which

I have found it sticks anything really well but

also can be washed under the tap to keep the stamp clean.

I love seeing how simple blocks using them in repeat can make

great combination patterns also

in readiness for 'Print City and Guilds'.

I have also started using them on my Banner for outside

the studio, made from nylon stock fabric,

used for kites.
