The paint dries nicely and it's later set by ironing. I used a bit of superlon to dab paint on the block print and then pressed it on the fabric. Of course, you have to dab some more paint on the print each time, but this hand printing business is really not as slow as it sounds :)Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770653136515096726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182504564788811181.post-70783350276838967432014-02-01T11:31:29.470-08:002014-02-01T11:31:29.470-08:00What a lovely and elegant gown!

I have a print block that I got over a year ago, but only recently ordered ink and a stamping pad for it which hasn't arrived yet. You said you used paints - how do you apply the paint to the blocks?
