Now that your block is all nice and carved and ready to be printed, get rid of those little shavings that showed up because they like to get stuck in ink and that can kind of create some problems with printing. So just throw them away, just clear the desk, throw them away and we'll go over to inking processes. So now I have my dish towel ready to go. And instead of printing, like if it's folded, I don't want to print on here because it might bleed through to the other side. So I unfold my fabric completely before printing. So now I'm going to just show you with one corner, the printing and inking method with a stamp pad.
So in this case, I'm going to use this blue color. I want it to really pop and be vibrant. Because I'm going to also use that with the other inking method as well. So I'm having my stamp pad ready to go. And I'm going to show you with a smaller stamp because that can be really useful with this process. And I'm going to grab what was a little carbs cherry tomato from that dish towel you saw, but let's pretend it's a blueberry right now.
So I'm going to use this same kind of thing linoleum and just as you would any other stamp, press it into the pad, nice and evenly inked, inked up, and then just stamp it directly on here. Boom. And you could just repeat that process over and over and over again. So we have one here. Let's do it again. You could use multiple colors if you want to to alternate between each one another one.
Now, the thing about this process that I've found with this type of ink, is that sometimes you're not getting as full of a body of color with ink. You're not getting it to be as thick or as vibrant as the other process. And that's okay. Right. It's just a different, it's just a different feel and look, and depending on your ink and how new or how old it is, that's a factor too. So now we have three blueberries.
Ready to go.
