I'm happy to share the fun play of fibre arts with close friends and relatives. This weekend couples of my nephew came to do natural prints. They never heard of such creations and was their first time of playing.
After my brief intro they worked on placement.
Not only the couple interested in making, Mogi was trying to help.....
Placement done then rolled up for a bundle.
After an hour boiling, two pieces of each bundle of silk scarfs were made.
Video of their fun play of scarf printing and paper printing as well making a wool felt flower ring.
I'm happy for their interest of this kind of natural contact prints.
Though it's their first time of making they're very creative in layout and placement.
Also the young couples are thoughtful and "heart" each other. They put the cinerea eucalyptus heart shaped leaves together and the fern for their names initial " A & H ".
Opening bundle is excited
Golden yellow from onion skins in alum mordant and red hearts of euc cinerea.
Prints from cosmos, fern, willow and scattered onion skins
They made prints on paper with iron mordant fabric scraps for leaf outlines.
Butterful from leaf of morning glory.
Set of paper prints on different sorts of paper.
While the bundles were boiling in the pot, I taught them wool felt making of flower ring.
Set of silk scarf with flower ring.
Very creative boys and girls. One of their prints from "A&H - Alice & Hei"
Very well done to all!
