Eco-print

 

Dragon fly eco print

I used the red beech leaves I picked up from the Palmiet to do this print. I forgot about it in the press, and should really experiment a bit more as the colours are much nicer than before when I pressed for about 1 to 2 minutes only.

I want to do more than just print leaves and am looking what else to do with this technique... hence the 'dragonfly' which started using for my Masters (in 1992, 30 years ago!)

Leaves from the Palmiet

 We haven't been in the Palmiet nature reserve for a few years now, and so we decided to go for a nice long walk. A lot of damage was done by the July floods, but it was a nice walk and I picked up some beautiful leaves for eco printing ( see below)
