Good match leather prints 找到了我的皮革天然印染

 A good find, really perfect match I found finally.

I tried many times natural printing on leather, this is the best lamb skin I've ever sourced.  Last week when I passed by a street stall I found the very soft lamb skin, good price, good quality and so soft after steaming.

最近終於找到很好的羊仔皮做天然植物印染, 也是終日沈醉的研究, 踏車時撿拾或朋友給予的花花草草共冶爐, 烙印著天然的植物色素, 製作了好幾個包包, 自己都滿意, 有點愛不釋手呢.

 

The size is the whole piece of a small lamb.

 I'm really into leather prints.  These days I have been doing with assorted plants particularly love the flower prints.  I like to print on the down size (not the smooth surface) as outcome looks much better. 

Photos below speak themselves........

 Hibiscus I love most, delicate and vivid.

 

Hibiscus tiliaceus

 

 Sometimes I use flowers of home grown or from friends' garden.

 Sometimes I pick windfalls while biking

 

This is purple but prints no colour yet shape is pretty.

 

Today I went biking with the lambskin prints for shooting.  It's soft as a towel.

 I've made a few pouches with the swatches.

I'm crazy now!  Almost every day doing experiments after I found the good material.  Fun to play and share.
