I recently treated myself to a small piece of Tim Holtz's cotton called Colourblock. (It's no good, I can't bring myself to spell it the American way!) When he showed the lovely things his talented team of makers had made, I was inspired. He also explained the the material was based on a colour swatch of his ink pads which he had then grunged up. It had been scanned and digitally printed on the material. If you would like to see the video, it is on Youtube
here.
I decided to make my own version, using some of my ink pads and some watersoluble crayon to give me the grungy look on the edges. The back of this is some packaging cardboard. All the lovely colours make me happy and I really enjoyed making it. I haven't decided where I'm going to put it or what I shall do with the material yet though...
