\"\"<\/a>I\u2019ve been crafting like crazy this past week! I am just about done with the first block, you can see the test print above. I only had a red ink pad, so that\u2019s what color she was. I need to make her front leg holding the thread a little more noticeable. You can see where there was something on the block on the wing making a little blotch that obscures some of the wing. I was going to try and have my project finished before I told what I was doing, but I got so busy with postcards that I didn\u2019t have time to sew.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
So the answer to, \u201cWhat is Melissa up to anyway?\u201d is that I\u2019m making aprons!<\/div>\n
\n
The exciting thing is that I discovered that the soy based intaglio ink that I bought works really well with fabric, so the pocket is going to have my new grasshopper on it! I\u2019m really excited about combining two of my favorite mediums, block printing and sewing! The ink is really permanent too. I cleaned my blocks with rags the last time I printed, and then proceeded to wash, bleach, and oxyclean the heck out of them with no fading! I love happy accidents! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love how things always come back to Creative Every Day<\/a> for me! Home is where my heart truly is, and her Home them<\/a>e resonates with that realization. I\u2019ve been realizing that I need to bring my art closer to my heart, tying my creativity to my values and core being. It would be so easy to try and guess what would be popular as I fill my Etsy shop<\/a>, but that\u2019s not what I need. I need to craft from my heart and let that lead me.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>\n
These are what distracted me from aprony goodness, but they were worth it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m participating in iHanna\u2019s postcard swap<\/a>. <\/div>\n
It\u2019s been great getting to use my stash<\/div>\n
my little paper bits <\/div>\n
paintings my daughter did when she was 3.<\/div>\n
eraser stamps<\/div>\n
magazine cuttings from college<\/div>\n
good stuff.<\/div>\n
