I have been printing with plant pigments on paper over the past few weeks. You can see some of the results on my Flickr
I seem to be going in gentle circles: after I have printed images which are more abstract, more play of shapes and colour I shift to prints which are more defined, detailed and true to a real leaf – just to find myself longing for more abstract, impressionistic images again.
Bellow is a print on card and silk
I am enjoying this inner communication with inspiration. It’s almost as if I was following something outside me and yet it is my true self; paying more attention to what I really like, what stirs me emotionally, makes me want to have a second, third look… to stare, to stop – what makes me happy and content at the end of the process/job done.
I have noticed my blog being still visited quite a lot with new subscribers as well – hello :)! I will occasionally post here, just to summarize maybe what I have been doing over a longer period of time, otherwise I post mainly on Flickr and Instagram.
Both are nice….. the abstract and the defined. How about combining the two?
stunning work, i have never tried printing with plant material on paper, just fabric
So beautiful paper prints. I always love reading your blog, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you all for your lovely feedback!
These are beautiful. Are you doing eco-printing? Does one have to mordant paper as well?
Yea, that’s eco print. You don’t have to but it can add to variety of colours.
Please consider continuing your blog! Oh wait… I just found you on Facebook! You have lovely work and eco-dyeing interest is growing wildly. Glad to have found you!
Joy, thank you, I might get back to blogging one day again.
