This unique silk shawl is luxurious in texture and rich in colour. The technique of eco-printing captures the colours contained in leaves, flowers, berries and other natural materials. The process then fixes them to the silk.
I have combined shibori and botanical contact printing techniques in this shawl. I have used a variety of leaves including walnut, sycamore, geranium, rose, northern oak, and eucalyptus amongst others. I have used cow parsley flowers and ferns adding pattern.
The dye was is a natural logwood dye giving a deep midnight blue in some areas and almost lilac in others. The details in the leaf prints and the gorgeous range of colours including greys, greens and rich metallic coppers and golds make this a stunning unique piece of textile art as well as a luxurious wearable accessory.
