We're about a week into #Printinktober

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been printing on fabric.  Most of what I've been printing on is fat-quarter sized fabric. I've managed to post a process video every day so far.  Yay!  What you'll see is the process video, embedded from instagram (if you get this blog via e-mail you may need to click on the title of the post to view the videos online) and a photo of the finished fabric:

I love that I'm beefing up my collection of hand printed fabric.  I don't have any specific plans for any of this fabric.  I plan to just incorporate it into the fabric projects I make over time.

It's not too late to join in on all the fun!  Remember, it's easy to participate using what you already have on hand:

  • Use the hashtag #printinktober when you post.
  • Any stamp can be used – foam, wood, silicone, rubber, hand carved, lino, whatever you want!  (And you don't even have to use a stamp.)
  • Any ink can be used – screenprinting ink, marker ink, stamping ink, printing ink, etc.
  • You can use the official inktober prompts, if you'd like.  Or not.
  • Have fun and don’t worry if you miss a day (or more). The point of the challenge is to get those stamps out of storage and into use!!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Love these! I have been inspired by you to print stamps that I carved years ago. I have not figured out how to post on Instagram. But for now, I am learning a lot and using stamps I haven’t used in at least 10 years! Thanks for inspiring!
