Dress of contact prints with leaves 裙上的葉子印染

 A dress I made with the leaf prints done in Spain "Textile con Alma" workshop. Just like the shape of geranium leaf and the ground control skill learnt from Irit Dulman.
在西班牙的實習布料隨手取兩片做了一件秋日裙子, 簡約葉印及剪裁, 就是這麼一件天竺葵葉與胡桃葉子製作.

  
 I recalled the mornings I walked up the lane leading to the village Azana where the workshop held.  The lane lined with pretty flowers and the impressive geranium.

 I picked a few for the contact prints samples making in the workshop. Such bold and clear prints of the geranium on silk.
 I've been doing experiments on assorted fabrics with different techniques thus lots of samples made. Just grab a piece to make something.........
 The panels were just right to make a dress.  With Revital Avidar's raglan pattern I cut and sewed the dress.

Geranium and walnut leaves on the front and sleeve


While the back is with random prints and both sides with viscose cotton of same tone dyed in tree barks.

 It's interesting and fun to explore natural prints. Irit Dulman is awesome for the skills. Her facebook page may have workshop schedules. 

  I also like Revital's pattern of raglan dress. It's simple and easy to make. Don't have to sew zipper, no button and easy pulling in.

 
My simple dress for the breezy autumn on any occassions.

Days in Spain 3 西班牙之旅


In the mid of our workshop in the village of Azana, we took a ride to the town centre Pamplona for a tour and dinner. The town is renowned for the annual bulls tracing in July. We walked along the avenues, the square, the TownHall and view of the city.
西班牙課堂中段我們眾人往市區內遊覧,這城市 Pamplona就是每年舉行奔牛節的地區,在街道上逛逛,嚐美食。這幾天做了很多試品,每件不同的效果與變化,也把製作完成,好漂亮獨特的。稍後更多圖片展示.......

It's Sat evening, tourists and locals enjoying in the long sunlight
