This beautiful handmade card features an original block printed heart design on recycled paper. Block printing is one of the oldest techniques in textile design, and uses a carved block to transfer an image on to fabric or paper. Katharine hand-carves her original designs into linoleum, a soft carving material, and prints them with oil-based block printing ink. The card is a standard USA A2 size, or 5 ½” by 4 ¼”, and is blank on the inside. Because each one is hand printed, no two are exactly alike.
