Vickie Watts Eco Print and Rust Eco and Rust Printing on Silk 23 x 19 $425

Eco printing is the process whereby the tannins in botanicals react with natural mordants and modifiers under heat and pressure to create prints on fabric or paper . This piece was first eco printed with pecan leaves. The wetted silk was then wrapped around pieces of rusty metal creating the orange flame like prints. The iron in the rust also enhanced the original pecan prints.
