Botanical Eco-prints

Eco-printing is a technique where plants, leaves and flowers leave their shapes, color, and marks on fabric or paper.

Plant material is typically bundled inside of cloth, or between pieces of paper, then steamed or boiled to release the dye found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used.

These are so much fun to me that I want to plant a wider variety of things in my yard to play with.
