Botanical imprinted wool shawl 植物印染被肩

  

  

 Multi-styled wool shawl of botanical imprints of assorted leaves just made from......

the thriving euc leaves from my friend's yard, the oldest oak leaves trimmed on the way and the unknown leaves from the farm house I stayed plus a little euc from florist.........

 

 A few pieces of the leaves laid on the wool sheet, boiled in logwood bath for 1.5 hours.  Here came the "before & after"

 The fine euc give the bold red prints is a rare sort.  Oak leaves of brown and the little green of euc plus the logwood blue & purple tie marks, that's the combination I wanted.
