Indian Wooden Print Blocks

Well, my bargain for the month are these lovely wooden print blocks, bought at a very good price on a well known auction site, very pleased with my purchase!

I want to use these along side my own blocks, I think the combination is good.

Private View Invitation

Hi to all my lovely followers. An Invitation to come and see some of my work being exhibited in Norwich City. Do come along and see the exhibition and if you are able, I would love to see you at the private view. For more details go to my Exhibitions page

New Print Blocks

I’m getting a bit addicted to block printing now I’ve started to do some again and I’ve been looking out for some blocks to buy.  These are what I bought a few days ago.

The trouble is, I think I’ve started something now!

Glazed Pot

Some of you may remember that when I had an open studio with my friend Sarah a while ago we did some clay work. One of the things I produced was this. It had been fired for me and was waiting for the next stage.

Well, I spent a day with her last week and finally started glazing it. It won’t be those sweet shop colours when it comes out of the kiln, the glazes brighten up. So I don’t really know what it’s going to come out like, but fingers crossed!

I am also proud to say I made this jug, with only a little Help!

Can’t wait to spend some more time with her.

Block Printed Curtains

After my net curtains disintegrated in the washing machine, I thought I would take the opportunity to use some of my new block printing inks and sewing skills!

This, of course, is my favourite bit.

Muslin is the most difficult fabric to work with because it is so unstable and takes a lot of patience, but finished items are so pretty!

Checking what trim to use.

Sowing the unstable muslin to a stable lace. Be gentle and do not stretch or pull.

Tape for the top to make a channel for threading the curtain rod.

The finished curtains are very pretty, I like using my textiles around my house and I can photograph them for my website!
