After by narayani

After

Such a fun process with some surprising results. My favourite is the “garden” square (top R) rosemary, lavender, pelagonium and lupin. It’s usually done with natives so I had no idea what would happen, but I was very happy.
How beautiful is this, all are wonderful! Hard to believe how this came out. How was this actually done?

@ludwigsdiana the leaves are lain on the wet paper (which has been treated with a mordant beforehand) and then pressed between tiles, bound with strips of cloth and boiled for an hour and a half

This is awesome. Is it permanent - ie can you do your own fabric prints and be able to wash it?

@seacreature it can be done on fabric and many, many years ago I did a fabric printing workshop. You must be able to wash the fabric but I have never washed the pieces I made. I can’t remember if it needs to be “set” in salt water (or something?!)
