Cant' thank more for my friends who like to do natural prints with me. Florence and Grace are sisters who are very supportive to my works and have joined my tutelage a few times. They found the flower prints lovely particularly Lagerstroemia speciosa (大葉紫薇) and Hibiscus tiliaceus (黃槿) as the above image.
To take the blooming season for the prints, they came again this Sunday for the flower prints.
Before the workshop I went to collect some flowers along the coast.
很感謝朋友對我的創作支持，不下數次來跟我製作植物印染的姊妹日前再度來學習以新技巧做的花葉印染，半日的製作各做一件羊毛混綿及純𢇁圍巾，相信他們也滿意大葉紫薇及黃槿花的獨特製作過程。
Heading to the other side of the harbour with stunning view........
lots of Hibiscus tiliaceus by the tranquil coast
A half day walk with handful flowers for the prints.
Started composition with assorted leaves and flowers on a piece of wool blend and another piece of silk wrap then bundle boiling for an hour.
Before the workshop I told the girls it's interesting to make such prints with the new skills but not guarantee it's beautiful. Yes I can't guarantee what mother nature gives. The outcome depends really on sorts of plants collected.

Unwrapping is always exciting......
"What can we expect? That flower is khaki."
"Oh, this one is yellowish."

Here are details of the two materials, wool blend and pure silk.

This is for Grace. How do they like it?
It's always an adventure, isn't it!
