Before it got too warm this morning I printed two test runs of my new banksia pod inspired wallpaper design. I made a repeat for this one and used a large lino block. As you can see I tested two colours: a pale green and a pale grey. Both colours look a tiny bit different in real life but you can get the idea anyway. I deliberately carved quite lightly so that some of the texture of the block came through. This was a lot of fun and the added bonus of block printing is the clean-up is minimal including the amount of water used. More pics here.
If you're interested in learning more about how to block print your own wallpaper why not sign up for a class I'm teaching with the gorgeous women from Harvest Textiles? Come play in their lovely new studio in East Brunswick and design and print your own block printed wallpaper. You'll find all the info here.
looks like soooo much fun. I love the grey on white, and your beautiful free pattern. The teaching gig would be such a hoot! Bet you're having a blast of a time! xo K

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Even though I've been block printing for more than a decade I still love seeing the print on paper for the very first time.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous. And, woot to running a course. That's great stuff.
