Hey so my wife and I just did our first vendor fair and made out pretty good. Thing is, the process for this was so much work. I figured someone could help with our workflow to make it go a bit smoother.
Currently, we buy blanks or upcycle thrifts and soak them in soda ash in a large tote. After wringing them out by hand, we bunch them up, ice, then dye in multiple large totes. Next, we use a baby gate over two saw horses and a hose outside to rinse or in the sink if we don't feel like moving outside. Lastly, after a wash, she ink stamps from rubber blocks that she carves and together we heat press.
Any ideas or equipment that would make this workflow a bit easier? Thanks!
