- Birds and Butterflies Print blocks

I am planning a new project using a bird and butterfly theme.

Naturally I sent off for some more wooden printing blocks from

Colouricious. Don't they look lovely! I can't wait to try them out.

As the weather is very wet, I think an afternoon of printing upstairs

in my studio is in order.

Christmas Card Printing

Here is my box of wood block stamps

from Colouricious. I am getting ready to

start printing Christmas cards!  They came

in a little box. 

More Wood Blocks

Another parcel has come through the door for me from Colouricious, containing these beautiful wooden printing blocks, which are hand carved in India. I liked this set, which are designed to use in embroidery.

 I took some rubbings, which turned out well.

These lovely wood blocks from Colouricious have just arrived for me in the post! I am looking forward to printing with them, and experimenting with making patterns. 

I have not been blogging much recently, as I have been busy with the family, and also with the art class I am doing, which involves weekly homework! Making sure I get it done on time is keeping me on my toes!

Wood blocks from Colouricious

Look what arrived for me in the post this morning! I do love getting parcels! I couldn't resist this set of printing blocks from Colouricious. They are hand carved from wood in India. I also bought a foam mat to use underneath when printing. Now I am going to learn as much as I can about block printing. You may notice some of these gorgeous designs in my future projects.
