My latest obsession is eco printing, that is using leaves and flowers natural dye to make an imprint of them onto fabric. It's a very tricky business, and hours can be spent going through the process with often very little results. There is a lot of trial and error involved and many small changes can affect the outcome. I've spent lots of time looking at other people's websites on the subject, to try and draw on their experience. Many people live in far away places where the plants are very different, so it's just a matter of seeing what you can get from the plants that are local to you. The first five images are examples of rust dying the others are eco prints onto merino felt with rose leaves, ornamental plum, elm, ostespermum. purple sage.
