As an alternative to using harsh chemicals, I have been experimenting with eco printing, using leaves, flowers and vegetables to print on silk. Eco printing uses traditional natural dye knowledge in a modern application which transfers plant pigments directly onto fabric using steam. I will be showing a collection of silk scarves and shawls in various sizes.
