lino-printing

Here are some fabric patches I've lino-printed! I really love these patches. Making them is a whole process:

sketch the design
transfer it to the lino (I actually use rubber, not lino)
carve it out
print the design
iron the patches to heat set them
cut them out
iron them again to fold over the edges
and finally machine sew around the edge.

I've considered adding a iron-on backing to them but I think that it would eventually come off, so they may as well just be hand-sewed on from the start. I'm currently sketching + carving a nasturtium patch, a dragon patch, and a spiny-leaf insect patch.
