Series of botanical printed leather and fabric fashion accessories

Botanical printing could be addicted once you tried as seasonal flowers make us trials.  These days I just done some printings on leather and linen silk blend. You see some of the creations with seasonal flowers.

 

Printed substrates are mainly lamb leather which are so soft and with mordant printing is bold.

A little introduction of me (tk) Terriea Kwong, TerLing Creations is my brand. Hope you enjoy the area with crashing wave.    This is Hong Kong.

A small piece of lamb hide printed in one go and cut into two pieces to make two belts.

 

 Actually the main part of belt is leather and the other is linen silk.

Close up of the leather printing.

Lining and half part of the belts are silk linen blend, the fabric I like most to do botanical eco printing.

You see how curious my cat Mogi who is my approver.

 All these printing on silk linen.

The leather belts are going well easy with dresses, jeans or skirts. They're not hard to sew but making the botanical printing is a bit tricky and work of mordant.  Once mastered you can create own styles of layout and design your accessories.  I have the instant download pdf tutorial mainly for the mordant leather printing, silk linen and paper printing.  All materials for mordant and printing are natural dyes and ingredients.
