I've got tea towels on the brain. Along with vegetable printing. And, apparently, stacked rocks.
The other day I was thinking about how potatoes, in cross section, are nice ovalish (ovoid?) shapes. And I had a conveniently wrinkling up bag of potatoes in the pantry (very squishy but fine for printing).
I've also been stocking up on fabric ink.
If you need different size ovals, slice your potato in rings.
If you use white ink, watch out for accidental snowmen.
The potato aftermath.
I need to hem (or bind) the edges of these tea towels and I think I'll make some matching potholders. I'm loving the mustard linen (especially since I got several yards for free! Score!). Someone I know is going to need a housewarming gift soon so I need to get these done!


Those are just awesome!!! We rarely have softish potatoes but I may sacrifice a regular one or two for something this fun!
