A New Printing Block

 Most of the printing blocks I design are stand alone designs, which I combine to make an interesting design or pattern across the textile surface.  I am interested in creating designs that create a new design when they are combined.  This stylized feather is something I can imagine creating an interesting pattern in a group of four.

For a first run, I have sewn together two long narrow pieces of hand dyed orange/pink fabric.  Then, I have put masking tape around the four edges to create a border.  I decide to print the entire thing in black in order to create a very graphic image.

Here it is with the masking tape still in place after the printing.
