2 wooden textile printing blocks, several cigar boxes of letterpress type, and a handmade book with interesting paper.
Treasure hunting with friends and a chatty lunch out is some of the best of times!!
Creative play with the blueprint on fabric squares continued this week. The overexposed, too dark squares exposed with a grid pattern were first lightened with a quick dollop of a bleach wash. The red one was then painted with Jacquared dyenaflow red paint, allowed to dry, then stamped with a batik block dipped in bleach.
Belinda brought over her pasta machine and we played with polymer - pendants shown above from our efforts - saved before the colors turned too muddy!
Great finds! And fun pendants!
