Making Leaf Prints on Merino and Silk.




We made samples of leaf prints using the steaming method.




Identifying and matching leaves and prints.





Placing leaves radomly and using a sequence onto merino and silk fabrics.



To enhance green colours we used copper pipes to wrap up the fabric and leaves into bundles.




Wrapping the bundles tightly with an iron rod, for dark tones, and string.



Composting the waste leaves and saving the dyed string.



Unwrapping bundles!
We look forward to showing you the results of our bundles on the following post.
