- Eco-print is a technique of printing on fabric but also on paper.
Plants (leaves, roots, flowers, etc.) will leave their footprints on the support. Let yourself go, you do not master the end result.
The eco-print blend contains chamomile flowers, onion peels, hibiscus flowers and campfish wood. This mixture allows you to make "vegetable prints" on a previously bitten fabric.
Biting is an essential step for dyes to adhere to your textile. For animal fibre fabric, do a biting with alum salts at 20% of the weight of the tissue. For vegetable fibres, equalize and then bite with alum salts.
Prefer a fabric made of animal fibres (silk, wool) for brighter colours.
