oh man. the linoleum block printing on fabric experiment was such a dismal failure i don’t even think i can talk about it. i don’t know what else to do. i got nothing and i’m just super upset. how miserable!
Oh dear 😞 At least you know what not to try next time though.
Just out of interest, did you use printing ink? Cause I know from experience, it works a LOT better than normal paint or ink.
I used silkscreen ink, which is what about half the online tutorials recommended. All I got was brayer marks, and not the very simple design I’d cut. I tried sixteen times. Maybe thicker fabric would have taken more of an imprint? I couldn’t press any harder than I did.
