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 🙂

Fabric printing using antique printing blocks

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….
