hand printed textiles

I'm so in love with these block printed fabrics hand made by Galbraith and Paul. Thanks moontea artwork for drawing my attention to them. I feel like I've died and gone to heaven after looking at their prints, and that studio space of theirs is just so dreamy and wonderful I want to teleport myself to Philadelphia to work there. Seriously. Who wouldn't want to block print fabric all day with such amazing designers? Ok, maybe not everyone. Just nerdy printmaking folk like myself and a few other odd bods probably. But look at the love in those hand printed textiles!

  1. I adore Galbraith and Paul's designs. I go to their site at least once a week, to stare and dream... I'd work there for free. In fact, I'd pay to work there.

  3. they are so yummy aren't they!
    I want to know what they are using to print....Is it linoleum on plexi, or some sort of foam mounted to plexi... does anyone know?

  4. Cute avatar Kristen - is it new? Don't know what they use to print their fabrics with but maybe one of us should be brave and ask them...

  7. *Ooh!!* I have never come across Galbraith and Paul before but their textiles are fantastic!! Thanks so much for leading me to their website. I bookmarked them straight away! It's fabulous. I just love 'Zinnia' (the print in your top photo)...I love that colour combination!

    I've been away from blog-land for about a month and it's been lovely to spend this afternoon catching up. It's great to see that you're back regularly! Has your computer been replaced?

    I can't wait to see how your dragonfly block print turns out :) x.
