ECO-PRINTING

Eco-printing is a technique where plants, leaves and flowers are used to print their shapes, colors, and marks on fabric or paper. Each plant, leaf, or flower is placed on the fabric or paper, creating an interesting design.  Plant material is then rolled around a dowel or stacked on paper and steamed to release the dye found naturally inside the plant. This creates a contact print in the shape of the plant, leaf or flower used.  These contact prints are referred to as “eco-prints.”  Each printed piece is unique and one-of-a-kind.
