week 3 of 52 weeks of printmaking- river rocks

This week's experiment is another simple block print that makes me think of river rocks. Every time my family goes camping, we head to a lake or river nearby to skip stones. Some of my favorites are the ones that have striations like these lines.

week 3- river rock

It's basically just an oval with 3 lines cut through. Quick and easy. I based it off of an old sketch.

I decided to make something other than a zippered pouch this week. This drawstring pouch is from a tutorial by Svetlana at S.O.T.A.K. Handmade and is one of my favorites. The lining is from Leah Duncan's new Gramercy line.

Life is busy! But I love taking even an hour each week to try something new to share here. 

As always, I'm sending this bag to one of you this week! Just leave a comment and I'll choose a winner at random on Thursday morning. Good luck!

This week's winner is Lesley! Congratulations!

    This goes great with the stripes at the top, it almost reminds me of a coffee bean!

    Great color combo! Simple, but so beautiful. I used river rocks in the center pieces at my wedding (a decade ago - wow!), so I have a soft spot for those too. Now off to make one of those pouches!

    A simple yet striking design. The drawstring bag was a great choice too. I notice you enjoy both print making and quilting and look forward to seeing more of both, as well as Alaska.
