Bookprinting and Bookbinding

Published on April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 by marionsartblog2 Comments

Bookbinding is a beautiful process. I did these small notebooks and albums using my handprinted paper.

What I like about them is that every single piece is unique in its print and colour combination.

DIY Idea: Printed Gift Tags and Packaging

Published on November 21, 2015 by marionsartblog2 Comments

You can never start early enough to prepare nice packaging material for Christmas.

For these gift tags I carved a Christmas tree out of an eraser. Using a white eraser as a printing block has got several advantages.

The material is pretty soft und you can easily draw your motif on it with a pencil before you cut it out.

And once you have made your set of stamps, you can print with them again and again.

For Christmas I like to use golden or silver linocut printing colour.

You can turn an ordinary spring flower into a nice present using some printed paper…

The previous weekend a friend of mine had a stall at a local Christmas market.

She is a textile designer and makes these nice bags.

We also sold my printed Christmas cards there.

If you want to print your own cards, we will organise a printing workshop this Saturday (see article below).

Christmas Crafts

Published on December 3, 2014December 3, 2014 by marionsartblog1 Comment

I’ve been working on some nice Christmas cards and packaging recently.

I got very simple brown packages and tags and printed on them. I also used pages of old books which I painted over with gold and silver linocut colour. Finally I decorated some of the tags with Christmas washi tape.

They look pretty nice, don’t they?
