So you may recall that I carved a block only to discover it had a flaw:
After much thought, I decided to ignore the flaw and just love the stamp. So, I took it for a printing test drive! Here's a video of the printing process:
You can see that I printed on top of a white commercial fabric that has white polka dots. I like experimenting with print-on-print. I was also vaguely thinking that once the ink dries I might try overdyeing the fabric to see if the polka dots resist the dye…!
Here's a peek at the printed fabric drying:
To print on fabric I use block printing ink for fabric and a soft printing surface. The ink takes 24-48 to dry depending on the climate you live in. Otherwise, it's the same as printing on paper!
Here's the fabric:
I love how it turned out and I don't think that you see the flaw at all. I’m excited to experiment with different colors of ink and maybe print the block on the diagonal? And we will have to see about that overdyeing too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love It! That turned out very pretty on fabric. Quilting I am thinking. Cutting it up and making a lovely table runner for that new home. Looking at your previous writing when you made the stamp took me back many years to when we were in Girl Scouts and made stamps. So much fun!! Might just have to do that again one day!!

So glad you foraged forward with this stamp. It is beautiful flaw and all. The fabric is gorgeous but I can’t wait to see if you overdye it. I think that would be fun and really interesting to see what happens!

Am I the only one who can no longer see the polka dots?! Or did you print on both polka dots and plain fabric? By the way – this looks SO so so so good! Whatta pattern!

It’s all polka dots. The pattern just obscures them from view.

I lost those polka dots as well but love how the hearts emerged where the corners of the block come together. The intricacy of your blocks is amazing, Julie!
