I like seeing other people work because I feel like I've been making blockprints in a vacuum. Watching UA-cam videos on how to do it is not the same as watching someone randomly do it and seeing their process. It never occurred to me to take a picture of a tote bag and then design based on that. I always get the carving block and then get creative block. And then I make something not very interesting. Thanks for sharing with the world! I definitely want to dry a bigger block soon and make it fit like a puzzle like you made it do
I feel the same about process videos! Thank you so much- I hope you get to make the block puzzle of your dreams!!
The Utah stamp is cute, like receiving a postcard from a friend in a far away place 😁
Aw I love that so much 🥺
Hi LTE, I’m a fellow artist (painting drawing,sewing,beading, stamping, carving, ceramics). I just wanted to offer some small advice on the stamping front. I see that you’ve used the pink blocks (which by far are the best - smart choice). In the past I had used a very soft rubber material which tends to crumble and discolour - not good for long term. You might want to invest in a cling mount soft foam sheet that is sticky on one side and clings on the other which goes over your pink carved stamp. Then you could use a clear acrylic block to attach your stamp onto and print more easily.
Really love seeing artists work with block printing, not super common and i enjoy this medium as well. Just so cool.
Thank you!
i absolutely adore your videos, i found you a couple of days ago and have binged your whole channel since then 😅💖 i absolutely adore the vlogs you do and how you show the process of something like this! your work with your local community groups is so inspiring to me, even tho i live in norway it’s still super interesting to see what’s available over there! i really hope your channel grows a lot this year, you deserve it! ✨
Aw thank you so much for this kind and thoughtful comment! I want to visit Norway one day it looks so beautiful there!
The stamps turned out so well! I love the design. I went on a road trip through Utah and completely fell in love. I believe anyone who feels the same would love to have such a tote bag. I'm currently experimenting with stamps and canvas bags, but I didn't try to make the stamps myself. Maybe I'll give it a shot…
these tote bags look really lovely, fantastic work ☺
Thank you!
i used a thin kabob stick to make some of my amateur designs on a white sweat suit/(white to symbolize cold, colorless poverty) & regular brown paint from a tiny can/(brown to symbolize the earth i slept on while homeless/hippie)...... i have a yellow sweat suit, too...... some designs on the fabric i xeroxed for my card stock telephone pole flyers. 1 of a kind sweat suits that can't be duplicated for a small clothing business. i was trying to 'live like an Indian' back in Berkeley's canyons with a corduroy loincloth over the sweat suit. the corduroy came from pants ifound in the 'free box' in People's Park. i started liuving like that in 1974, when i was 21. i quit the lifestyle when i turned 65.; winters got too damp! i finally got a small senior housing studio 2-1/2 years ago. HOT showers & my own kitchenette!!!......... i once carved a block print on an old piece of wood, a buffalo head. i used it for a flyer design...... you are lightyears ahead of me with your art & use of computer & tablet! thank you, again!
Omg. Many thanks for posting this. Learned this years ago and this inspired me to get back into it. Many thanks.
I love these! The woodcut kind of texture looks so good!
thank you so much!
I loved this! Block printing on fabric has 100% come back hard, I work at an art supplies store and our Lino section always has big empty spots
These are so cute! I think I’ve found my next hobby ✨
I completely agree that design even if local oriented still could be popular😁 I would definitely buy this tote bag, also love the idea of multiple stamps 😍
Thank you so much!
For a moment while she was putting ink on the block I was like "HATU" huh must be a local greeting.... hahahahha
hahaha
I love the kind of faded look though, it doesn't matter that it's not so much ink there. They turned out so beautiful!
Thank you!
Loved the video!! While I super enjoy studio vlogs, I personally really love videos that are specific into one project, I feel like you can learn a lot through seeing a whole process!
That’s really good to know- thank you!! Glad I can contribute some coworking company!
I really enjoyed this video! I love mixed media art journaling and stamping is a huge part of it. It was fun watching you make your own stamps.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen! I love the imagery, and as you said uniqueness of each bag. The outcome is gorgeous, and the artistry is amazing. Okay, that's my praise for your cool bags. Good luck at the market!
Omg this is so sweet- thank you so much!
Loved it! I love seeing the process of how you create your art! Have a good weekend! 💞
thanks Whitney!!
I love how your tote bags turned out!
Thank you!
Those totes look amazing! I loved this video ❤
Thank you!
Awesome. Thank you for this video. I'm trying to get into block printing and this helps a ton.
Glad it was helpful!
Bro these turned out so good- ty for sharing your process. Block printing really suits your art style and I'm super excited to see the dyed totes!!
Thank you Hannah! I’m excited to see how those turn out as well!!
Awesome design. And this is a verrry simplified video of Lino carving. I hope everyone realizes how much actual work goes into the process. It’s def not as easy as you made it look! They came out SO GOOD!
Yes! I didn’t record very much of the carving because it took SO LONG haha. Thank you!!
@@littletinyegg It’s TEDIOUS! And one little slip can “ruin” your piece. I’ve learned to love (and be very adept with a stick pin) super glue! Bravo. Ps. I’d totally rock a Utah tote down here in Houston! 😉
Your totes look great! I've also been seeing more block printing in the world and have been similarly inspired to try it myself--I carved my first block a couple of weeks ago. Now inspired to print on fabric!
Ah that’s awesome!! I love this block printing resurgence we’re having!
Love the bag, Utah or not I could see people buying it no matter where they live. The Utah stamp itself is super gorgeous, great job ❤
Thank you so much!
i really like how the bags turned out :)
thank you!
great video - very inspiring for future projects - and I Love the tote bag designs so much! absolutely would rock one in PA after my upcoming Utah vacation - so definitely a market outside of hyper local!
Thanks Mattie! That’s really good to know! Thank uu
Very much enjoyed the video. I enjoy carving stamps too, it’s so fun. One year I made a set of Donnie Darko themed stamps and used them during Huevember as a theme. Little,did I realize back then that carvedecember was a thing, and I should’ve just done it then. LoL
Ooooh cool! I haven't heard of carvedecember! I should check it out! Also I love Donnie Darko that sounds so fun!
I just recently got into fabric printmaking and it was so fun to watch this and see how another artist works. Also, hello from another Kristen!
I love fellow Kristens!! so glad it inspired you!
Loved the video! It was really cool to see the whole process. Hoping I can make it to some of the markets you do!
Thanks Dez! I’ll share more on IG but I’ll be at the main farmers market at pioneer park a few times!! Hope to see you!
i've really been enjoying your videos! i've only visited utah (for a rafting trip, even!) and i'm always missing it from the east coast. this tote would be a great souvenir for a visitor like me
Aw I'm glad you like them! Thank you!
wow i loved seeing your process here, it was super informative! i haven’t done block printing since high but i’m interested in trying it out again. you made such an inspiring design :o)
thank you! I tried it for the first time in high school also! you should give it a go!
On such a kick with your videos today!
love it! thank you!
Hope these sold out! Thank you for this informative video! I am planning a similar project with my grades 3-5 Art Club for a fundraiser. Expectations are appropriately adjusted :)
Thank you!! Hope you and the art club have so much fun!!
I love it, and I am local, but I loved it before I realized they were all Utah related, so I think that says something to its universal attractiveness
Oh yay I love that, thank you!
They look great! my linos never look that clean! You inspired to me to keep trying 🙃
It takes so much practice and I feel like I learn so much every time I make a new one! Thank you!
This is so beautiful! I don’t live anywhere near Utah lol but I feel like I must have one!
Aw thank you!!
wow, they look so good! i could see this being sold in like museum shops as a utah specific art sovenier (like how they often have local artist things in there? at least they do where i live), and if you sell it online you could do designs for different states!
I love that idea and totally agree! Thank you!
What style is this tote bag they have so many on the site …btw really awesome to see the process of this
Such a cute print! And I loved the process video. I make block prints too and will have to try them on a tote!! Also, I’m not from Utah but I would buy one of those ☺️
Thank you so much! That’s really good to know- thank you
Literally the cutest username ever I’m gonna scream
This could be a new side hustle for you. You could make themed bags and or create the stamps for ppl to purchase.
im from the uk and i love these tote bags i would get one if i was there XD
Would make a great souvenir! 🌷
These look awesome! If you made a similar design to sell online I would totally buy one
Really good to know, thank you!
Love the finished product! As a yarn artist, maybe I'll one day try this out too. Also, I was wondering if there was a way to make these bags be washable? Have an amazing day/night!
they are washable with the fabric ink!
@@littletinyegg :O Thank you^^
I'm looking to block print and decided to check youtube to see if anyone had info. Can I use fabric paint? Or does it have to be block paint specific? I haven't done block printing since high school, so my memory on this is fuzzy!
I LOVE the art for the tote bags. The art style, the look of the cut stamps, the nature theme. I’m not sure I would want the location stamp but then again I love the idea of the Things From This Area art. Not helpful, sorry! I’m happy to see you create it even if I wouldn’t buy it?!
Actually very helpful! I’m working on a different design that doesn’t include the Utah stamp but I’m glad it was fun to watch regardless!! Thank you!
@@littletinyegg That's awesome! I hope it does really well because I think the art here is gorgeous. I'm totally more interested in buying that version, on reflection
Hey, great work! I'm subscribing to your lovely channel. :) May I ask, what kind of ink did you use to print on the fabric? And did you have to treat it after, like in a dryer or something? Thanks!
I just used speedball fabric ink! It doesn't need to be heat set!
@@littletinyegg Oh, that's fantastic!
how long will the ink stay on the fabric?
it is permanent!
Does the ink run if washed?
no it is waterproof!
Hey what Ink do you use?
speedball fabric ink!
