more than vintage finds

by izabela

found those in my local antique shop

(i always love to go there

and just view everything many times and times again)

 

 

 

 

i love the patterning on the peacock

and ornaments on the other one

they are wooden blocks used to print the fabric

most possibly from india

no idea how old but they have just most beautiful patterns

more about this technique on wikipedia – woodblock printing

 

cannot wait to find some time to use them!

 

:)
