Cyanotype print Silk Foulard Large
Pure silk squares in chiffon , georgette & crepon . Embroidered with dots embroidery around all four edges , dark tones on one side , light on the reverse . Edges raw finish .
After embroidery the squares have been cyanotype printed using real pressed leaves and plants . Cyanotype is an ancient form of printing using sunlight .
Some of these pieces have been overdyed with black tea or oak apple.
Mostly I use white silk but it is intriguing to use other colour bases like the lime yellow in a couple of examples , I have also used a fuschia pink in the small size squares , see the separate product page .
Each square is entirely unique and like all my eco-print articles I do not make to order but produce one piece at a time for the shop .
Size 55cm x 60cm aprox.
Hand wash in cool water . Dry flat .
Ready for despatch .
