Hi everyone! Welcome back. After my trip to Wisconsin for the India Flint workshop, I have been busy painting, dyeing and now eco-dyeing. My most recent work has focused on improving my technique in getting the print from plants onto the cotton fabric. Over the last two days I have been able to get a few good impressions, including that of several zinnia flowers. I love the anticipation of opening up a bundle to see what the results are.
Here's an interesting onesie that was folded and dyed with logwood. The band in the middle looked like it needed some embellishment, so I decided to try leaf pounding using redbud leaves. Some of the leaves were more purple, while another was green. I have washed this garment several times without the leaf impressions fading.Take a look at the results.
