Patchwork Red Heart by Pants Bagchip

My paper is made by ripping up old paper I collect, soaking it overnight, blending it, and using that mixture with a ‘mould and deckle’ to create each individual piece one by one. Each piece is unique, some batches have different textures and colours, some ripped pieces stick out more than others, and some batches are coloured with acrylic paint.I use this paper with my linoblock prints. Lino is a rubber-like texture that I carve into using special tools. I carve away my desired image into the block and use it like a stamp with ink on the paper.I also use these same lino blocks to create shirts. I use a special fabric paint to stamp onto the shirt, and use a heat-press machine to stamp and seal the design onto the shirt.My charms and stickers are designed by me, and sent off to be produced by other companies.
