Letterpress

So I finally bought some ink to try the letterpress stamp!

Letterpress and embroidery

A friend bought me a small rubber letterpress stamp from Portobello market a few weeks ago. The flowing curves and patterns intertwining with the typeface inspired me to produce my own design. I created small illustrations and then planned out the design on fabric and recreated it using thread to add colour.

I love sew by hand, probably because I'm not great at it but I find it therapeutic.
