Thanks that was great and Willy is adorable

Great stamps! And i loved your recent quote of ' i suffer from the tyranny of perfection' - i suffer, too...

[@cbugstudio]

It's hard not to! Remembering that perfection is a cruel tyrant is the first step to freeing ourselves!

[@phillrushmere]

Faith’s block cutting skills are on point!! 🤘🏻

[@cbugstudio]

You're so sweet to say, Phill!

[@Slivings911]

Oh wow, I just discovered Sonya’s site today and ordered a pattern. And now, browsing TH-cam for fabric printing I run into Faith and Sonya.

[@cbugstudio]

How funny! Nice to see you here Sherrie!

[@nailaahmadUK]

Thanks ladies for your tutorials.

[@cbugstudio]

Truly our pleasure Naila!

[@worldknowledgefacts4624]

Nice idea to make our own stamp for block printing

[@samarthxerox7541]

what kind of ink i should use for fabric stamping

[@erinfoy4858]

I would like to know about Sonya's website/classes, but I did not hear her last name. Can you tell me her full name, or where I might find her?

[@cbugstudio]

Good question Erin! We have a few classes with Sonya (last name Philip) on our site that you may be interested in: www.creativebug.com/instructors/sonya-philip - you can also find Sonya's personal site here: 100actsofsewing.com/

I'd like to experiment with block printing onto mesh or tulle, do you think it could work?

[@cbugstudio]

Ooh how interesting! I think the image would be more of a suggestion and most details would get lost, but it could create a lovely, ghostly effect. Let us know how it turns out!

[@paulinelarson465]

Using this question, I printed on tulle, laid over some semi-shiney fabric. Rotating tulle 180° offset the patterns. I made dress for 18 in doll that is beautiful. Next, thinking of trying 2 sets with different patterns or colors, then switching the tulle layers. Wonder how 2 layers of tulle would look after printing. This may take a while !

Can i use normal fabric paint on lino sheet? Fabric lino inks arent avalible in my country

[@cbugstudio]

Yes that should work just fine! Good question!

[@pamelaleitman9200]

Where do you get the rubber block and what do you use for cutting out the pattern?

[@cbugstudio]

Good question Pamela! You can find the rubber block at Jo-Ann under the name "Speedy Cut Rubber Block" and most fine-art stores should have them as well. Faith cut the cat block freehand and the dog block based on a photograph of Sonya's pup. Hope this helps!

Hi can i use acrylic or water colour to block print?

[@neJUky]

hello, what's the name of the book and her author, please?

[@lets7121]

Is that Screen Printing fabric ink, Or Block printing ink?

[@cbugstudio]

We used screen printing ink, but block printing ink would work as well. Thanks for your question!

[@SamsungSamsung-ro7qk]

Ok

[@eyegardentx]

Do you have a link to the book

[@jaclynlauraviljoen1272]

Hi! What is her full name. Would love to follow her on fb Instagram.
