Eco prints on paper 紙張植物印染

I keen on experimenting different paper prints. Here are a few of the outcome
   
 Just grasped the paper index dividers which I do not need for my box file. Prints of the top image is not bad.
 My friend Zeinad gave me a few delicate handmade papers from India with sort of hair, may be horse hair? Prints with euc and rose leaves are quite impressed.
 Rose leaf never made me disappointed.

 Even on a recycled music paper from my girl is very strong.

 Left is a used paper envelope, right is the paper index divider



 My way of making paper prints is easy with my handy tools.
 I stacked a batch of paper with leaves sandwiched. Tied tightly with the racks (a simple aluminum steaming rack common in Chinese cooking). That's exactly the size of my used rice cooker (use the old one that will never used for cooking meal !). Boiled for an hour, here it comes.......
 I made some papers with different prints, always have  approved by this brat !
 An artbook with eco prints of  paper and silk fabric together with nuno felted cover with own made ceramic buttons.  Thought this is my "signature" artbook with the crafty ideas I've made so far .  

"Mum, you need to fine tune or crop it."
"Yes, Mogi , the making of artbook is to follow......"
Until next time.
