Gibbet Jones Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Anyone else have any luck wood block printing? Here's a 17th century pattern that I had laser engraved on blocks of wood and printed them onto my bandana. Little light in spots but overall I think it turned out.

Silver Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 i did wood block printing in high school print shop. we had a (i think) roller press, do you have a press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 And will you be selling any of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbet Jones Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 And will you be selling any of these? I just may get into more block printing of bandanas and sell them. Again it depends on demand. I have some more block designs that I can engrave. My dream is to start a small shop/tent and travel to festivals across the country. Block printing is the sort of thing I could do "on site" as well as lost wax ring designs. I have some of those in the works as well . No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.

All done by hand, takes a bit of time but the end product ends up the same. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbet Jones Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Want +1 Plan on taking Paypal? I see there is enough interest in the wood block print bandanas for me to order some fabric and create some more. As of right now the only bandanas I have on hand is some green cotton Swiss military ones that could be block printed, the color of these bandanas is very close to that of Barbosa's. What type of material would you be interested in? The red one of mine in the photo is actually a tropic weight wool. I will do up yet another block print design from the 17th century and post a picture of that one as well. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.

Possiblility of it being long enough to drape down over my shoulder? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbet Jones Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm going to make an order for some thin raw silk as well as some ink for fabrics. I also have another block design that will be made tomorrow. I'll keep working on this project between working on buckles. I'll keep you posted on my progress. When I've got some finalized bandanas I'll post them with prices and I can start selling them. Dangerous Dick Longfellow, I will make some large square bandanas that will come down to the shoulders, I can also make long rectangular ones like the one posted above. First I'll get red then green, cool grey, warm grey, and black. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
