Spent last night printing. I wanted to do some little note cards for my friend, Louise. Last year I carved a bobbin from her shop’s logo. I figured she could use some new cards. There is lots of excitement at her shop – Red Red Bobbin, as Kaffe Fassett is teaching there at the end of the month. I’m sending a book to be signed. Kaffe is an incredibly talented artist and designer who works in a variety of mediums. I was particularly inspired by his book Mosaics, Inspiration and Original Projects for Interiors and Exteriors, published in 1999 by The Taunton Press. I’m excited about getting my book signed because I love autographed books! (This applies mostly to cookbooks and craft books and it’s best when I get to meet the author. I did meet Kaffe Fassett many years ago – long before he had written his mosaic book.) In fact the first Kaffe Fassett book I purchased was in 1989 – Glorious Needlepoint. Needlepoint – wow – there’s something I haven’t done for a long time.
After I finished the bobbin cards, I printed some samples of other stamps I’ve carved.
Not all the prints are inked perfectly but they are good enough for my record book. It was a relaxing and productive evening.

I love them and especially the bobbin. What do you carve to make the print and what do you print on?

Thanks. My favorite carving material is called “Easy-to-Cut Lino” by Jack Richeson & Co. I print on purchased cards, either blank or pre-made. If you check some of my earlier printing posts you’ll see some variety.
