Today I rushed home from class to unroll my most recent eco-dyeing attempts.
I have entitled this one "dance of the sugar plum fuchsias"
These are pot boiled plants from my garden with iron sulphate as the mordant.
I am hoping some of them will make great grounds for my tiny Roman graphite calligraphy.
This is half of the following full sheet. I like it!
One full sheet of hahnemuhle 300gsm white
Rose petals 1/2 sheet
Rose leaves 1/2 sheet
Rose leaves 1/2 sheet - mirror image of above
