Take a Look See

Take a "look see" at what I have been doing...I crack myself up...I think that this is what happens when you are generally alone with three children all day, every day. Your sense of humor deteriorates to their level! Anyway, I have been having some more printing fun!

I wanted to try out some linocut text. I carved out the words "look" and "see" since I wanted to make eyeglass cases.

I made a couple of cases where I printed my linocut block repeatedly over the entire piece of fabric for the exterior.

The hand stitching coordinates with the lining. The linings on those two are Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow and Michael Miller's Lava Lamp.

Then I made one with a pieced exterior, separating the words into rows.
They were lots of fun to make! I am interspersing these fun projects with some little behind the scenes commission work that I am doing for a friend's grandchildren for Christmas. The items are things like teddy bears, crayon aprons, doll quilts, etc. I am not going to share those pictures because I would hate to ruin her surprises!
These are now in the shop.

  1. These are so cool! I love, love, love that printed text. And that peek of Modern Meadow? Fun!!!

    How did you do the cases themselves? Is it a little quilted mini that gets folded and stitched? I've thought about making these to sell in my husband's office just for fun.

  2. "Look. See how Amy runs. Amy is happy. Amy is happy that she has her bloggie friends to talk to!";p

    That is a fantastic idea....on Friday and the shop we were talking about how cool fabric is that has words and how excited we were about this "Pure" collection coming out and here you are making linowords!:)

    Now you need to do "LOOK" with eyeballs in the O's!!:)

  8. I love these - See Spot Run and Dick and Jane books are the best. Look! See Spot Run! See Jane! See Dick! See Dick and Jane! (I think they cornered the market on exclamation marks...until us bloggers came along that is!!!!!!)
