99 Prints: Tweaking Botanical Prints

Did I quit this 99 prints project? Quite...I will never be able to make 99 prints before the end of the year, I know, shame on me :-D. Anyway, from the batch of eco printed fabric I picked the worst ones and tweak them a little bit with my beloved Gelli printing plate. This is the result:

Here's a short video process:

EcoPrinting No Boiling No Mordant, does it work?!

Hello everyone, it's been a pretty while since I posted here, and in the meantime I got hooked by, well, another obsession: eco printing! I attended a very thoroughly -in person- workshop about it, and I was pretty sure I would never attempted it in the future because it was too much hassle, especially the boiling and the mordant part (adding some chemicals to the water to prep the fabric/paper). 

But curiosity won me over and I decided to ride the heat wave that hit Italy this Summer. I made several experiments, and filmed two videos, very long ones, you can watch them double speed, since my English is pretty simple and I speak slow :-)

First experiments using a tin can, iron blanket on paper:

Experiments with a proper rusted tube on fabric and paper:

Here's a short showing a notebook made out of ecoprinted papers:

Video Tutorial: Unique Prints with Cyanotype and Gel Printing

Helloooo, cyanotype again! Well, I have one kit and it lasts for many many many prints. The only problem was to find nice botanicals to use to make impressions, so I designed and laser cut them out.

And what better idea to put together cyanotype and gel printing? A match in Heaven? Maybe...let me know it and enjoy the video:

99 Prints Part 4: Alcohol inks on Canvas

And here we are with 4 new prints for my year long craft project '99 Prints'. This time I played with alcohol inks on canvas. Since I discovered cyanotype prints I found out that I don't have any nice real leaves to use to make impressions, so I designed them: I created a set of 3 leaves stencils, and I used them also here with alcohol inks. I love them!
