Here is a link to my progress pictures of my block printing for a friends laureling cloak.

Now that it has been presented, I can share my progress pictures for the block printing I did for the lining of Morrghan O’Siodhachain laurel cloak. I have to admit, thinking through the layout and planning of print placement turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Trying to plot how to place each print so it looked mostly even and the wreath always pointed ‘up’ was a challenge. (I will note that all of the examples of circle cloaks I found with all over patterning - the placement of decoration were NOT evenly spread over the cloak by any means). I also discovered I needed a lot more table space than I thought to be able to spread it almost fully while I worked on it. The material is a white/cream colored silk. I used Speedball silver fabric printing ink. And the block was one of her own carving. This was the first time I’ve printed silk and in the future I would not use this kind of ink again. It needs heat setting and I could not get it hot enough for long enough without scorching the fabric. And the water-based Speedball fabric printing ink is more like paint than ink so getting the block loaded nicely was tricky. Over all it turned out pretty well imo. And it filled me with so much joy making it for one of my dearest friends!!! #MySCA #SCA #BlockPrinting #AnTir #Adiantum #Sewing #CostumeDesign
