Tried printing bigger designs this time. Somehow I can't spread the ink I'm using evenly and thickly enough (as you need more of it than in paper prints) - will follow up soon with another type of ink I finally acquired!

Oh I totally forgot to post this. It took me five years of working on and off in very short bursts starting in high-school.

This is my personal interpretation of the Orisha Oshun who I felt a deep connection with during the worst of my depression.

The beads were gifts from my auntie. I didn't think this would ever be finished. When I wear it I don't think about the depression it came from, but my ability to slowly yet surely do hard things. I can put a project down for as long as it takes me to be okay again. I will be okay again.

Long time since I worked on blockprinting, but I wanted to make a some designs for a community market this weekend. I scaled up the skull design I made previously, and made some mushroom and leaf prints to combine with it.

We'll see how they sell, but I'm really happy with the quality of the prints and how the ombre came out! If I sell some then I'll experiment with other colours and some new designs for the following market.

Info: Hand craved stamps into soft rubber blocks. Experimented with hand pressing (with baren) and small printing press, with the most consistent best results being from the hand pressing. Used a soft rubber brayer for the ombre and a regular rubber brayer for the black ink. Speedball fabric block printing ink on canvas.

Soy milk is an easy way to to create prints on fiber when using natural dyes that are tannin-rich. The protein of soy milk is an organic binder that invites stronger colors that last longer, so you can use soy milk to 'paint' one-of-a-kind patterns and whimsical designs on textile. This video tutorial will show you how to make prints with soy milk and dye with black tea on cotton fiber.

The thing about fabric printing and cheap second hand Tshirts is that there's really nothing stopping me from acting on all those times I go "Ooooh! That'd make a great T-shirt"...

I'm not dead! Still not drawing, but I got back into lino lately and decided to try fabric printing (for fun for once, since my day job is sucking the joy out of me in that regard). One kind of paint for now, trying it out on different fabrics and different lino block types. Going to do a comparison once I try different paints, hopefully it might inspire somebody to try it :)

Had my first play around with my new fabric inks. Mixed results and I need to practice more, but its a start. Any suggestions are very welcome.

The turquoise is Speedball Fabric Block printing ink, with a standard rubber roller, hand pressed.

The orange is a Speedball Fabric Screenprinting ink, with soft rubber roller (will be trying with a foam roller next, as yes, the consistency was much more runny and didn't roll well with a rubber roller).

Fabric Samples and Exploration

Pleating was one of the techniques I decided to experiment with first. I was very into pleating before starting the technique and I found it to be interesting on how I would be able to implement that into my final line up

Since Kentridge was well into mark making and printing it was only right for me to try printing on fabric, I used a method of screen printing, lino and printing with gold foil.

Moving on with smocking it was a technique I really wanted to try but it will also give me all sorts of textures just like with my moodboards, with it’s satisfying looking texture and it’s repetitive shape it would be a great way for me to experiment with.
