Cycling inspired botanical printing

Cycling in our rural is inspiring, all seasons with different flowers and weeds. Got a few coreopsis combined with eucalyptus I made a tapestry.\Nice ride with buddies to explore our nature and get inspired creation.

After the ride I've handful of plants to play with and made the tapestry. A keepsake for the mate whom we share drinks after cycling.

Printing as this on silk linen I need to mordant the main fabric with homemade tannin simply with fermented eucalyptus tree barks and covered with blanket rubbed with rusts that's we called iron blanket.

   This is the simple basic way to print on silk protein fabric just with tannin mordant and iron cover.

Printing with all those flowers on leather is more tricky.

Peeling off is like opening a gift - yes gift from nature.

  A small piece of leather is printed and something I'm going to make.

Like-minded friends may know what I've done with this leather and fabric printing.

Final touch and will post shortly the making.

  Similar way of making of botanical leather printing is available in my ETSY instant download pdf tutorial
