Botanical Printing by narayani

Botanical Printing

The last two afternoons I’ve spent with friends learning about printing with leaves on paper. Yesterday was a bit of a disaster for me, but today we were all pretty thrilled with the results.
That looks amazing and must be so much fun.

They look fabulous Narayani. I'm intrigued as to how they were done.

@merrelyn thanks Merrelyn. The paper is treated with a mordant, the leaves are placed on, then the paper (with leaves) is wrapped around a cylinder, tied, placed in a pot of water with an iron solution added, and simmered for an hour and a half.

Merrelyn's already asked my question ;-) Just need a bigger cylinder and a bigger pot and you've got some great wallpaper!

@anniesue haha! That would be a lot of work! (Unless it’s a very small wall) 😉
