Botanical medium-print is a technique of dyeing fabric using plants and flowers as 'stencils'.
We will need:
- natural silk fabric
- cling film or plastic wrap
- Cleaning wipes / cloths made of syntetic fabric
- pot
- wooden sticks
- laminate flooring underlay (2-3mm thick)
- any plants or flowers
- disposable gloves
- adhesive tape
- brush
- to dye synthetic wipes / cloths you need powder paints for silk and wool, for example:
www.kunsti.ee/i...
www.nobiina.ee...
- For background, both powder and liquid batik (silk painting) colours are suitable, for example:
www.kunsti.ee/i...
www.kunsti.ee/i...
The powder dye solution is prepared with vinegar and salt. Always read the instructions on the packaging of the colours! The proportions and instructions may vary.
Good to know!
- Silk scarves dyed with powder paint will be softer and more pliable, and the colours will be brighter and more durable.
- Silk handkerchiefs that are twisted on wooden sticks often leave the fold lines unpainted. So I suggest using long "soft" sticks (see video) or, instead of a pot, use a bucket to fit a long wooden stick.
After steaming the silk, rinse it in warm water with fabric softener (conditioner). Then iron on medium heat... and enjoy the result!
