Eco print of reversible nuno felt top 植物印染羊毛混雪紡上衣

Mogi, "Hmmmm, mum added some color on white! How it looks? Let's see below...."  一件雙面羊毛混雪紡上衣, 要做植物印染又完成了, 怎樣子? 且看比較.......

I mentioned in my last post about this reversible nuno felt top to take the risk making the reverse side with eco prints.  

Rolled the bundle with three sorts of eucalyptus leaves and boiled for 1.5 hours.

 

Back with prints of green, orange and brown as well tie marks. 

All are eucalyptus leaves, the round ones are euc globulus from the States. 

I do not keen on regular or parallel in the front, so placed the leaves in this way half in the front and back. Some with brown as they're dipped in iron mordant water.

These group of euc leaves I plucked near my studio come out green.  

After boiled the original pleated side with nuno textural ruffles has not much change, only tie marks on the bottom that's what I wanted. 

The reverse side with bright prints is also what I hoped. 

Comparison of before and after, only a bit yellow and tie marks.  So no destroy to the original. 

It's earthy, it's organic, it's subtle..... whatever it is.  It is one of it's kind. I can do nothing the same. 

A piece of two sides, in and out.

So this is a two-sided nuno felt wool top. I have to admit that I love more the original (left) on my daughter. It looks "pure" and ruffles are "fluffy". 

The right one (on myself) after tight rolled and boiled, ruffles like "pleated skirt" look less soft.  Anyway, my experiments for the reversible wearable.
