I went back to my hand printed fabrics today and made some little fishy friends…. The prints worked really well!
We gave one to our lovely boat neighbour Anna today for her 30th 🙂
Fishy Friends!

Finished hand printed cushions – first attempt
So on a rainy day a few weeks backs I took over the wheelhouse and spread my paints and fabrics all around. I spent hours printing fabrics, some silk, some brushed cotton and some linen. The silk and the brushed cotton worked the best so I decided to make them into cushions….
Here they are!
Fabric printing using antique printing blocks
FABRIC PRINTING
A few weeks ago I came across a wonderful book about the ancient art of fabric printing. This spurred me into an epic search for some beautifully hand carved printing blocks and yes! i found some on one of my favourite websites – Etsy.
They arrived safe and sound and I couldn’t resist getting stuck in, so I found a spot in the wheelhouse (Yes I live on a boat, and a wonderful boat she is!) and this is the outcome of that very rainy day last weekend….
Looking forward to making some bags, pillows, and cushions out of these!
