Greeting Cards and Postcards - Albatross Stamp
 |
Greeting cards |
After
taking the printmaking workshop, I really wanted to make another
stamp. I liked the
4”
x 6” format and since I also wanted to make greeting cards and
postcards, it was the perfect size.
I
found a picture of an albatross with a strong diagonal. This is my
pattern and my carved stamp.

I'm not sure what the product is. It
is softer than lino but firmer than the soft-kut that I have used
before.
I
experimented with making greeting cards. Some were printed with Screen
Printing Ink and some with Jacquard Textile Color.

Screen Printing ink on light blue cardstock |
 |
Screen Printing ink on white cardstock - added watercolour paint after printing |
 |
Jacquard Textile Color on white cardstock - added watercolour paint before printing |
 |
Jacquard Textile Color on heavy paper - added watercolour paint after printing - machine stitching |
Also
made a couple of postcards.
 |
Jacquard Textile Color on own handdyed cotton - machine stitching & satin-stitch edges |
 |
Jacquard Textile Color on silk and organza collage - machine stitching & satin-stitch edges |
Still
lots to play with and so many other options to try.
