Here are some of the botanical prints I created during a workshop in Morocco. These swatches were testing of different tannins with dyes like weld, logwood, madder, and indigo to produce various colors and shades. I used a mix of fabrics, including silk, linen, cotton, and rayon.
Afterward, I sewed the scraps together to craft a patchwork curtain—a keepsake of my Moroccan creations. My cat, Mogi, was curious enough to inspect it and claimed it immediately! It is a sustainable, artistic memory that I truly treasure.
這些是我在摩洛哥工作坊期間創作的一部分植物移印製品，這些試色布塊是用來測試不同種類的單寧，如木犀草、蘇木、茜草和靛藍等所呈現出的各種色彩與色調。我使用的布料有絲綢、亞麻、棉布和人造絲。
之後，我將這些布塊縫製成一件拼貼窗簾，為這段摩洛哥創作時光的紀念。我的貓咪 Mogi 好奇地過來檢查，並立刻佔領了它！這是一份結合了永續與藝術的珍貴回憶，我真心喜愛。
Workshop taken in Taroudant
In the resort we stayed for 8 days for creation
Such tranquil and beautiful ambiance
On the roof of the bungalow we can see the snow capped mountains
A bundle of creative artists get together for the botanical printing
My testing of logwood dyes and prints. Pleased with the vibrant color
More testing of tannin reaction
Fun to play with plants get at the finger tips
I'm quite pleased with this silk printing
Half days of eco printing experiments and optional days for sight seeing
We joined a group to the further part of the village Tassegdelt to see the granary built 500 years ago
Among the rough mountains
This mountain vault protected the entire village. There're housing and compartments for food, wine, documents and valuable
All well maintained
Thanks for the guiding us
We also visited the museum
Though I've not done much printing it's great to meet old and new friends of like-minded
After 8 days we've to depart and off to own places, back to UK, Portugal, USA, Canada and I'm from Hong Kong was heading to France to meet my daughter for another marvellous tour.
I left my heart in Morocco
Miss my friends and we'll do more research and experiments for our works of botanical printing
