Scissor Me Timbers - Printed Sew-On Patch

About this product:
This is a hand-carved, hand-printed linocut, meaning each one of these patches is an original print. While the same stamp is used to make each one, no two will be exactly identical. The images here serve as an example of what you will receive, but each print will have small variations. 

Patches will all be approximately 4x8”, printed on thick fabric, like denim or upholstery material. 

About the Process:
I wanted to create a linocut for Pride, but I also wanted to lean away from the typical Pride related prints like “sounds gay, I’m in” and “love is love”, not because there’s anything wrong with those, but I’ve just seen it too much and personally, it doesn’t appeal to me. But you know what does appeal to me? Vintage scissors. And you know what’s also super gay? Scissoring. So I looked at pictures of vintage scissors and did a few rough sketches until I got it where I liked it, transferred my final draft to linoleum and carved it out. And here we are! The “Scissor Me Timbers” print. Pirates are also very gay. I hope you already knew that.
