I unrolled the fabrics that I had covered with plants and tied around some tree branches the day before. I was pleasantly surprised by the special images that the plants had left on the fabric – next time I would definitely like to try printing with plants on silk and on felted fabric. Using a thinner fabric should make the result even more exciting.
Once the rolls of fabric were opened up and cleaned from the plants and any other residue, I rinsed the fabrics until they were clean and no more dye was coming out. I then put the fabrics out to dry.
I’ll include some photos of the results of the plant printing and in the future I will also share finished items in which I’ve used these fabrics.
