Multicolor prints on fabric I don’t often try to print more than one color on fabric. The registration can be a problem. These two small prints were made by having the fabric stretched and taped down onto a support of cardboard. I then could use my normal method of registration with register guides at one corner and one side. Easter 1991 The Schweickhardt House, Eden, NY
Screen prints made with rubbings For some time I had been using rubbings of embossed antique book covers to make prints that captured the historic look that I was after. I found that by placing a book under my screen and making a rubbing directly on the screen with crayola crayons I could make a stencil because the crayon would block the water soluble textile ink that I used. I had a collection of old guide books, many from Niagara Falls. I used them to create this dark and light “Log Cabin” quilt square on different shades of gold, tan and white. I blended the ink on the screen from black to brown. This is a detail from a 45” x 59” hanging. It is hand quilted. I call it “Souvenir of Niagara Falls”.
