My Hand Block Printing Adventures - 101

I have been printing a lot lately. For me making crafts, block printing and creating something beautiful is more than just a hobby. For me it is mediation and I feel so relaxed and energetic after making something related fabrics and printing. I have been printing for couple of days now. I have made many beautiful fabrics and garments for kids in the extended family. Here are few of my new creations:

The first pattern that I made was a tree in Spring Green color

And actually instead of printing it over a piece of fabric, I printed it on a cloth bag made of Muslin fabric

This is how I started - a couple of wooden stamps, dye color and lots of hope to create something new

This is another Green pattern that I have made

I have posted more such images on my Facebook and these available for purchase on my website: www.desicraftshop.com

You can buy these favor bags in larger quantity just by placing a custom order request to me. I am available to take orders through Facebook and website contact page :) 

Yellow and Green for Summers

Here are few of our personal favorite from our shop. Summer is already here and our shop is full of yellow and green items. We have restocked some of best seller fabrics, made new block print and silk bags, iPad sleeves, procured new trims and brocade laces and couldn't stop ourselves from listing some new jewelry on our website. What you see in the collage are sneak-peeks from our website
