Eco-prints, 2017

“Eco-printing is the method of gathering plant specimens, extracting dye and prints from the leaves, and transferring them onto fabric and paper.”

Eco-printing is the method of gathering plant specimens, extracting dye and prints from the leaves, and transferring them onto fabric and paper. The photos you see here are hand-printed designs using the eco-print method. I used silver-dollar eucalyptus leaves as the main print on raw silk fabric. The fabric may be used for many purposes, such as a pillowcase, a kitchen cloth, or a table runner, etc.
