More block printing
After printing with the last block of polystyrene from a vegetable tray, I found a larger piece of polystyrene and wanted to cut deeper so there'd be less smudging of the print. What to cut polystyrene with? I took the problem to my nightly mind-wanderings where I determined that the ideal would be a heat tool - now what did I already have that could serve this purpose. A soldering iron! It worked really nicely and I burnt (melted) out a pattern, rolled fabric paint onto it with my little craft foam roller and printed. Hey presto! Much easier than screenprinting. Now, with the next pattern I want to draw a design that matches up along the edges and try to print seamlessly
I didn't much like the result of the green flour resist I did earlier, so it proved to be the ideal cloth to overprint, and I think it looks much better now.
Fun, fun.
One of my daughter's blood test's came back very low, so we now have a further test on Friday to see if this could the problem (being deliberately vague here to protect her privacy.) Dare I hope for an answer, at last?

I do like the subtle grid that forms with the stamped design.
