I signed up for Handprinted : A fabric swap III a few weeks ago. I have done a little bit of handprinting before (though with precut, bought stamps) and wanted to play around with this more. So firstly: here's what I made the first time around when I stamped (note Issy was stamping so the quality is variable!): This is the end of a scarf which Issy and jointly made for her Kindergarten teacher at the end of last year. She did the stamping (with guidance...) and I did the sewing. The end is white linen, the blue main body of the scarf is blue linen and the binding is blue and white silk - an offcut that I found in a local fabric shop in Brisbane the last time I was there from work (I can't remember the name...). A close up of Issy's excellent stamp work...using a peacock stamp I bought at Ecohaven , a local Hobart shop. While the kiddie stamping gives this something of the handmade vibe, I think it's a pretty stylish and refined effort all up -
