Eco Print

I'm doing my first hot process eco print. The cotton fabric was pretreated with an alkaline mordant, in this case tea. The evergreen pear leaves were pressed in a book so they stay flat and have good contact with the fabric.



Then the fabric was rolled up and secured with rubber bands.



The bundle was steamed for an hour, and now it sits for at least several days, possibly several weeks.



I'll check it periodically to see how it's progressing, and show you the results when I decide that it's done!
