Taking pleasure in the simple things,
I have been printing
from nature using wild plants.
The prints from my printing press have turned out
beautifully!
I used spritzing ink in a lovely shade of aubergine to spray
the blooms and grasses.
I love the way some of the plants natural colour combined
with the ink to make beautiful green shades.
This year has been a good year for wildflowers.
I also used my Gelli plate and acrylic paint in a neutral
shade to print with grasses,
When printed they
look like Mediterranean Cyprus trees
standing, soldier-like in rows!
I have trying to find out more about Eco-dying fabric now I am discovering what wonderful prints can be made using plants. I
think that may be my next stop on my journey......
See you soon! J

So you're printing too but in a completely different way to me! ;) I love the print of the grasses, I see lots could be done with this! xx
ReplyDeleteOoh lovely prints, they have turned out beautifully - I love the change in colour too! Lately I've been printing using a heat press with heat sensitive inks but I think your results are better than mine - I haven't had anything I'm really happy with yet, but I'll persevere! Your old press is gorgeous - I have press envy!
