I collected some eucalyptus leaves from my friend's tree, and have made up this dyepot with them. Two bundles of a cotton/linen fabric mix have been folded, and dropped in.
The smaller one, was dropped in as it is; the larger bundle has been pre-mordanted with soya-milk.
I'm going to leave both bundles in for quite a long time I think. Try to get a dense colour.
Once dry, I'm going to experiment with the collography plate I've been working on. See what it prints up like. It's drying in the studio at the moment; the varnish is stinky!
ah, another dye! I'm going to get started soon as well
ReplyDeleteThe scent of the eucalyptus as it boiled up in the kitchen, was lovely, Saskia. I can thoroughly recommend it as a 'house scent'!
