How to eco-print felt with leaves and dye - full process, shares all the details you need to know to eco-print plant material onto felt. This video shows how to mix traditional with modern, by using natural leaves with sapphire blue synthetic dye. So this one is not not for purists. As an artist I wanted to explore a new direction by mixing artificial and natural dyes on the same material. Doing so achieves a vibrant blend of rich orange from the eucalyptus leaves, contrasted against the bright blue of the dye. Delightful! I am happy with the synthesis!
THE MATERIALS USED IN THIS PROJECT:
* Piece of hand made felt - still soaking in the rinsing vinegar-water
* Vinegar water to soak the plant material - and felt if it is dry amzn.to/2Qcw5bF
* Rust/iron solution - gives dark definition to the eco-prints
TO MAKE RUSTY NAILS, put lots of nails into a large jar and cover them with 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar. Put a lid on the jar and leave for two weeks.

* Jar with lid amzn.to/3uGk11d
* Vinegar amzn.to/2Qcw5bF
* Leaves, flowers and onion skins - all from my home
* A stick
* Twine amzn.to/3seX8Ra
* Scissors amzn.to/3wM4cbi
* Rubber gloves amzn.to/3uHQTH6
*Cling wrap amzn.to/2PMG4oq
* Sapphire coloured fabric dye. I used a dye suitable for natural fibres that also holds its vibrant colour well. amzn.to/3uAb7SW
#Dispose of leftover dye and rinsing water responsibly
Keep watching though, because at the end of the video I show what you can achieve when you use PURE eco-printing, using ONLY NATURAL plant fibres in a natural dye-bath. Silk scarves, cotton tees and blouses all with clear, bright prints and colours. This is a method I use a lot, and love, as it is eco-friendly, and makes me feel more connected with nature.
