A day of printing




The girls and I spent several hours today playing with blank rubber stamps and linocut tools.  A friend came up with the brilliant idea of making her own seed packets and I've decided to follow suit.  We have been collecting seeds from our garden for over a month now.  I've also been working on making and printing envelopes for those seeds for about the same amount of time.  

Today the girls decided to try their hands at print design.  I had them sketch their images onto the rubber stamps, I cut them out and we printed them on cards.  I love having homemade cards on hand.  You never know when a thank you will be needed or just a note to the grandparents or a friend.
