Capturing Fall
There are piles of leaf-dyed paper sitting around my studio and extended studio (kitchen), and still I roll more bundles for the dye pot.
This last batch had marigold petals sprinkled on some of the pages. I like how the flowers add fall color to the mix.
I dyed some silks and wools as well, but the images aren't as crisp as on the BFK Rives paper. These will probably end up as blocks in the tablecloth I keep threatening to make.
At some point, I'm going to start making covers to house all these pages. But not today.

The paper pieces are stunning.
ReplyDeleteAll of your prints are stunners and if I knew the process, I would be making a bunch right now, too!

India Flint has two wonderful books on Eco-dyeing -- Eco-Colour and Second Skin -- but, of course, taking a workshop with her is even better!
DeleteYour work is magical...I also wish I knew how to do this...I am going to try in my own way.

Thanks, Sue. As I said to Dawn above, India Flint has written two great books on the subject, and her workshops are awesome. I'd love to see how yours turn out!
DeleteThese are so beautiful. They totally and completely bring me right into the autumn season.
