Been having fun..........


Here's just a small part of my wooden printing block collection! I gather these wherever and whenever I come across them. Luckily, there are a few "ethnic" shops within fairly easy travelling distance, and they always have a basket of these things sitting around.

Sooooooooooo...

out came the box of dyed cottons and the other box with printed cottons from old Indian skirts. Mix them up with bits of shredded silk and HeyPresto .... you have the beginnings of a basketful of "bunting-flags"!.......

These are but a few of the (by now almost 100) collection. The plan is to sell them as singles (mounted onto flat sticks), or string them in 5s 6s 10s or 12s. Part of the "Tribal" expo stuff for next year.
