The Chertsey Project this month was lino printing. A first for most - but we managed some great results with only two plasters needed!!!
If you click on the pictures they will go to full size.
We had bunnies,with and without carrots
geometric shapes
and flowers and bees carved from the lino blocks
And one girl used magic blocks instead of lino blocks. We heated the blue foam on the iron plate (about 35 seconds) then pressed it onto knotted rope. The details of the rope came out fab in the foam, but not when we added paint and pressed onto fabric. By the end of the 90 minutes we have managed to progress to making a positive impression by using a second heated block pressed onto the original, and then painted the positive and used the negative to ensure the fabric was pushed against all the paint! We were rather please with ourselves!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
