Eco printing with CQ Iceni

 

Multiple leaves

We had a hot and steamy session on one of the hottest days of the year with 16 CQ Iceni members all having a play with eco printing.

Six pans steamed away all day and then the bundles taken home to be unwrapped. Hopefully we will see the results at the next meeting in July.

The one of the left was a demo only, a new departure for me, but giving some nice colours. I am still learning about eco printing and enjoying the whole process of gathering, printing, unwrapping and then stitching. 







I was pleased with some of my fabrics with the ever reliable rose leaf on mordanted fabric giving nice clear prints. This one on cotton.


This was on un-mordanted silk and an unexpected pink colour from raspberry
