Etsy Shopping

I have JUST made myself an ETSY shop so I can hopefully sell some of my lino block printed fabrics online. I have a Queensize doona cover with pillowcases, a quilted & satin bedspread, some cushion covers & a couple of large wallhangings, one with my favourite quote printed on it, & the other gorgeous & quilted with a satin edge.
Etsy was really easy to use, & I am hoping it will be effective community to be a part of, both for interaction between Artists, & for selling from.

Block Printing is SO MUCH FUN!

Lots of printing by my friendly & talented students! We have been having great fun in the studio. One of the great things about block printing is there are really no mistakes! Everything can be "fixed" or inspiring.

Beautiful blue & white print. This block is antique Indian.
