I'm really happy with how these turned out, except for the black. The black is a bit patchy in places, so anybody who orders it will receive an extra large quantity to compensate! I think it's because it's so high contrast (can't get any higher contrast than black and white!) so any variation in the ink is more obvious than in the lighter colours. That said, sometimes it's nice for things to be a bit rough around the edges otherwise it's easy to forget that this stuff is printed by hand, not by machines :)
Hope you like them! These ones go up in the shop on Sunday morning Melbourne time :)

Great fabrics! I love the cream droplets!
ooooh how gorgeous lara, love the crisp green on the geese and bonsai prints! will you be sending some to amitie as well?
are they printed by hand?!
I never realised! doh!
they are gorgeous. You do such nice work.
Hi,
So beautiful!!
I'm curious of how they're printed as well. Are you sending them out to be screen printed by hand, or are there computers/printers involved.

oh so fabulous! love the green:)
I didn't realized your fabrics were printed by hand. Do you print them?
Hi Lara,
Your fabrics are beautiful. I was just wondering who in Melbourne does the screen printing or if you have to send them elsewhere.
Thanks
Hi Anonymous - I won't post the details here but just email me if you want some more information on the process :)

And to the other anonymous! I don't print them personally by hand but I send the designs off to a company who specialise in hand printing fabric by the metre :)
i love your style of illustration. clean and simple. i am wondering if you would share your secret for printing tho. right now i sketch my own characters, cut them from linoblock, and stamp. that is crazy time consuming when i just want to get to the finished product.. and you. you do sheets, and you have so many to choose from. i know they are not stamps.. is it like silkscreening?
either way (i understand the blog ettiquite + copying too) your work is incredible. keep up the hard work!
