I am in love
Can't tell you how much fun this is....!
Here my carved patterns are ready to be glued onto the wood blocks that chef cut out.
Testing on paper
and here- glued and mounted to the wood blocks ready to use
In addition to my own designs
I found these lovely antique ones
carved from pear wood
in my studio I have a super simple set up
a door...again from Restore America
on saw horses
perfect height
even Lily has a little spot under all the paint to snooze.
Looks like a lovely cosy way to while away a day. I wish I lived close enough to give you the collection of stamps I have from the days when I made wedding stationery for my friends. I have boxes and boxes tucked away under a bed waiting for a day when I have a house big enough for a craft room (or a wave of second marriages! Whichever comes first!)
ReplyDelete....wedding stationery -now that sounds like fun!
Deleteloooove the pattern in the 5th photo - is it your own design?
ReplyDeleteNo this is one of the antique ones made from pear wood.
DeleteYou are sooooo talented! I am in awe that you created them!! I bet Lily loves sitting in the room with you :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing!!! LOVE that you have mounted them too. Cannot wait to see what you will do next. I am so partial to saw horses in studio. Best desk I had was a pair of old saw horses and an old door... Thanks so much for the comment on the yarn. I think of you every. single. day.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! And I love your desk :)
ReplyDeleteSo impressive, lady! ANd what a perfect work space. I am biting my nails in anticipation of our return home to a new house and a creative area. What supplies did you need for this?
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
ReplyDeleteYou need a speedball carving set, lino or rubber plates to carve and paint/ink. Since I will mostly be block printing on fabric it's good to use screen print ink. How ecxiting with a new house-have fun with your work space!
Thanks!
DeleteI tried wood block printing in art class in high school. The carving tool slipped and went into my hand. Not fun. I haven't tried carving anything since but I admire those that do. The blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCamilla, I really am inspired by you, truthfully you such an amazing woman. I love how you find a passion, make it your own and create something so beautiful. I have been 'under the weather', but when I visit here you make me smile.
