Second Tannin Wick Stained Fabric 1

the results of my very first wick printing process...

 

First experiment of wick printing with “Native Bush Juice”…

·* Container

·* Piece of old bath towel to fit into bottom of container

·* Piece of scrap fabric to fit into bottom of container

·* Lay native bush leaves, nuts or twigs onto scarp fabric piece

·* Poured in fresh water to just cover top surface of the leaves

·* Leave water to then slowly evaporate

 

·When the water level begins to drop down past the top surface of the leaf the water starts a viscosity

 

 

I may have reproduced the technique but at that point I had no idea why or what the unique elements were to its successes...

 

This began the next stage to the process of discovery...
