Ecoprints on fabric - Getting Hammered



The posts on ecoprinting with fall leaves continue....
This time I hammered the leaves onto fabric to transfer the images...
This is on pre-mordanted fabric, so I'll see how the colors hold up, and maybe try it with some non-mordanted fabric next fall just to see if there's a difference. 

The colors transfer very nicely! In my experience, natural pigments tend to brown over time, but  I'm fine with the prints being as ephemeral as the leaves themselves.



I made these small prints into a bunting.
Isn't it cute?

Leave me a comment about my prints or link to some of your own....

More nature prints to come.....
