Sewing Notions Fabric Collection by Andrea Lauren

After carving my floral block and creating the Butterfly Garden collection, I knew I wanted to continue with that process.  Spoonflower's sewing notions contest seemed really appealing and I got my tools out and began carving some of my favorite vintage inspired sewing notions.  The block is 6"x 8" and I'm also offering it as a print in my shop.

 

Block Printing Stamps by Andrea Lauren

Here is the second set of hand-carved blocks which I have been working on the last couple of weeks.  It is always fun to experiment with rainbow roll ink gradients, ghost printing, and repeating the design element in different arrangements.  Since I use these designs in the digital medium, I typically print these at least two times; once in fun color version and once in solid black for scanning.  Follow me on instagram for these process shots as they are completed.
