Eco Printing in New Mexico.......

Anxious to see what happens here......I tossed my bounty of Crimson Maple and Scrub Oak leaves into a stainless steel pot........leaving the walnuts to dry......


and and brought the brew to a bubble and stew.....

and then tossed in several.....


Bundles..... 


of leaves....
tightly wrapped......

 in silks of different sorts.....
around
sticks and stones and rusty bits......

and when they were 'done'....simmered more than a bit....

they were extracted from the brew.....



and left to cool.......

and unwrap...

more than overnight is best......

but who can wait that long????!!!!



most often......

not I.

  4. I'm wrapping another kind of bundle today-my newborn grand daughter - Charlotte.
