More Morris....

William Morris

Strawberry Thief
Inspiration for my stamp came from this William Morris print made using carved wooden blokes. thank goodness for technology laser cuttings a lot easier than carving. Morris is such a craftsman and perfectionist its hard to tell were the motif in this print and many of his others starts and ends.

laser cut stamp was used to create pattern going to cut tese up and make tags. Also been thinking about how i'm going to display my textiles for final presentation,thinking of displaying the individual patterns on boards hung on the wall thats if i can get enough designs printed off i'm starting to worry as times ticking away. want the boards to be displayed as a block of twevle, 4 rows of 3 all butted up together to give the illusion of one pattern sort of like a patchwork quilt effect.

My design was lser cut out
of 3mmply wood
Finally got round to using the stamp I made a few weeks ago using the laser cutter. Worked surprisingly well used it to make tags that I'm going to embroider over to give a hand made feel. I find myself doing little things that aren't going to make one bit of difference to my project unless the exposure unit is fixed and I can start printing again I still have four more designs to print, its been 3 weeks now how long dose it take??? Tarin has refered me to margaret street to see if I can use their facilities, I have go over on Tuesday OOPPSSS.... TUTORIAL DAM I FORGOT....
