Eco Printing

July 7, 2023 by admin

This is something I’ve always wanted to try. I had the opportunity to gather eucalyptus on a recent visit to LA so decided to give it a go!

Arrange tannin containing leaves on alum mordanted silk

Cover with plastic wrap

Tightly role around a stick or dowel using cotton twine. The tighter the wrap the more distinct the print. Steam for two hours. Leave for 24 hours.

Here are the finished scarves. The background blue is indigo and the tan is walnut.
