This print was done on natural silk (no dye) and it was layered twice: Once with rose petals for the first steaming, Twice with oak, rose and eucalyptus leaves. Total steaming was 4 hours, total create time is 4 days. The tannins in the leaves deliver one-of-a-kind color and prints. Each is as unique as nature, and hand-washable.
Eco Printing on Natural Silk
Nature printing was developed in the 18th century. It uses plant life to produce a natural image. Each piece of silk undergoes several stages to deliver a chemical reaction between the fiber and plant tannins.It is a 4-day process to create each unique silk. Every piece features hand-rolled hems and is hand-washable. No two are alike. If you're interested in a different color/size, please email me at: justjilldesigns@hotmail.com
