Two Colour Printing!

Test batch of two colour stamp prints!
After making the two colour printed skeleton bag, I wanted to try more! So I carved up some second stamps to coordinate with some of my older designs...

They came out really rough and worn and splotchy, which I love. I printed the images with white ink, heat set them then printed over with black ink. I didn't have registration marks, so they are all a little off. I think it reminds me of graffiti. The ones on cotton worked much better than the blended fabrics. But then, doesn't everything?


I took this little batch of tests and made up a little batch of triangular pouches.

Its cool when your "tests" actually work out and can be made into something to sell (or keep!) I am going to start listing these pouches on Etsy starting tomorrow.

I had a helper who tried to eat any threads that fell on the floor all day....Then he runs when I try to pull them out of his mouth. But you would never know by this pic what a pain in the rear he is. Aww.

Hello Skeleton!

New in the shop today!
This is my first two colour printed bag. White first then black over top. I think it came out fantastic! I decided against registration marks, as I don't want perfect prints. The whole reason I love stamping as opposed to silkscreen is that each little skeleton has this unique, worn and interesting texture.

I am working on a few other two colour prints now. I have big plans...
