Better Eco Prints

I'm getting better at the eco prints. The first two were steamed -- eucalyptus, and liquid amber leaves -- and left to sit for a week.






The bottom print is eucalyptus leaves rolled up, left to sit for a week, and kept moist -- no steaming. The dark edges are eucalyptus dye boiled in an iron pot, which makes it a dark brown.



I'm in the process of doing a second layer on these pieces using kakishibui (unripe persimmon dye) and copper in vinegar.
