Printing Building Blocks

I wanted to try making my own building blocks that I could print onto children's clothes. I obtained letters and numbers and printed them out. On the reverse of the page I drew out the outline of the images (to use the reverse with printing onto clothes). I rubbed one side with charcoal, placed it on a 2 inch block which I cut, and drew the outline of the numbers needed.





 I then cut these out with my woodcut tools. I repeated the process for "2006", "77" and "8"






 





Next, I obtained some babygrows and inked up the blocks with paint and a roller and started printing.
