When publishing with wooden print blocks, it is just one of those jobs that is much better done without an end result in mind … a minimum of that is how I really feel. Simply enjoy producing material, stamping patterns and also enjoy!
Wood Block Printed Owl
I printed 2 pieces of textile with wooden printing blocks, which are hand carved in India, using PROFab Opaque Textile Paint. The very first bird is stamped on simple white muslin, while the owl has been printed on a watercolor batik. Motivated by Ruth Chandler’s wonderful book, Modern Hand Sewing I made a decision to stitch over my block printing with Tentakulum Painter’s String.
In preparation for hand-stitching, I took the textile, used Mistyfuse to the back, as well as affixed it to a light weight flannel or Osnaburg. The Mistyfuse stops bearding of the patchwork batting, while the slim flannel keeps the patchwork slim. The finished stitched block can be layered over quilt batting as well as backing to complete.

My idea is to utilize different stitches as well as Tentakulum strings on each owl. However those honeycomb owl bodies scream cross stitches!

As you can see, these sewing experiments are still an operate in progression. Yet I am delighting in working with them, as well as I believe that the end outcome will be that these fine-feathered fowls will discover their method into art quilts!
