Eco Prints to tell an Eco story

I’ve been sharing the story of this buffer zone along the Trimbelle River in these posts for more than a year ..Last autumn I came and cut some of the plants to use in a dyeing printing method often called eco printing. The prints that were created in two sessions and have been the basis for the body of work I have been creating this past winter and spring. Here’s a bit of the process as it revealed beautiful images I get to enhance and interpret.

This drawing was created on one of the prints created below… it can be yours …

The process of creating a eco print follows the photos below.
Lay gathered plants on good bfk rives paper one page on top of another.
Bind the leaves together between boards.
Boil the bundles.
Open the bundles.
Reveal your prints.

Make the prints sing with color …
