However, mistakes still happen even when you are as relaxed as can be. Like this one from the other day - I was a bit heavy-handed with the flooding between prints, so the next print had a little ink bleeding in places ...
I don't make too many mistakes these days, but I'm a perfectionist, so if a print doesn't meet the high standards of the Quality Assurance Department (me), it goes in the "misprint" pile. Some of you may have been recipients of a misprint when you've ordered from my shop. This happens occasionally when I have misprints fit for giving away, especially to those who have placed a large order, or to people I know might just like them. I much prefer to give them away than do nothing with them at all.
More creativity over at Kootoyoo!

The prints look great - good job!
I love that little splash of ink. I totally thought it had been done on purpose. Love your work!
That little splodge looks so cute .. surely an inspiration for a new fabric range? A close friend always used to say, "there are never any problems only opportunities".
It's so so true that you have to be relaxed!! Last week I was doing a repeat pattern and got a little impatient and rushed things...and Uh Oh!! I even told myself not to rush as things might go wrong.. hmmm live and learn... hopefully :) Miss prints can look quite cool too!
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one out there that has the 'occasional' misprint!
Maybe one day you could make a quilt of your misprints! It would look pretty good!
Love the idea of the misprint gift. Just a lovely "steak knife" Nic.
that ink splash is quite cute, really!
He he... Like your 'misprint' just for fun. It always happens when you are in a hurry too. I was making a stuffie the other day and it wan't until it was together that I realised that I missed blanket stitching the belly patch. Grrr!
I love those pears, and the splash looks like it's meant to be there!
I agree with Mel love the pears and I did think the splash was part of the pattern lol. Like the texture of the thick paint too.
I like the idea of including some misprints. Someone can surely use them somehow, with all that craftiness out there!
Your misprint looks pretty too :-)
well I can't see the miss in the missprint, it looks gorgeous to me xo
Love the pears, and the blue!
I love the 'splodge'!!
i thought it was a 'designed' splodge of ink too! i think you should develop that designed splodge.
Well it is great to maintain high standards! I agree though that it looks pretty darn good to me - but you have to be happy with your work especially when you are sending it out into the world ... makes me itch to get some screens happening though!
I love a good splodge too! -reminding us that it is lovingly made by hand. A bit like the 'ugly' fruit we are seeing in the fruit/veg markets that have tiny imperfections due to shortages from floods/cyclones. I think they're just lovely :)
