I love the course texture of 100% linen. But it's not the easiest fabric in the world to block print on. This is a test run on an oatmeal linen tea towel. I'm still perfecting it but think I like the dirty red colour against the warmth of the oatmeal.

UPDATE: I've worked out all the kinks and so now have some of these in my shop.

  1. I really love the kind of texture the red produces against the linen. I still have an unused linen tea towel from my stay in Oz years ago and I still admire the feel of the cloth every time I touch it.

  2. It gorgeous! I think it is so beautiful what the linen texture does with the paint. Good luck!
