Prints

These were two pieces of greige cloth I dyed green (ages ago.) I wasn't happy with the color so I used the peices as practice sheets as I played around one day with leaf prints.
The leaves are Tansy, Yarrow, Queen Anne's Lace, and a few other bits from around the garden- all printed with textile paints.

I wasn't really happy with that result, so I added a faint monoprint over each using MX dyes with diamond shape bubble wrap on a piece of plexiglass. Better, but they still kicked around in the studio. Recently I was printing blocks for a quilt with a set of silk screens I made up. I decided to add just two prints, each in chocolate brown (MX dye.)
These two pieces seem to be complete at last...
