Eucalyptus, Gravillea, ands acid dyes, were used to create lovely botanical transfer print one-of-a-kind scarf FWSa. Botanical transfer printing uses locally sourced plants to create extraordinary color, pattern, and texture on natural fibers such as silk, linen, cotton, and wool. The plants are tightly bound into pre-mordanted (enables the natural pigment to adhere) cloth, along with acid dyes, and steamed, creating a permanent transfer of form and pigment to the fiber. The cloth is then dried, aged, washed and ironed.

The process is highly variable. At different seasons of the year, different pigments may concentrate in various plant parts to create color variability. Results vary according to plant season, plant part used, processing time, local water type, mordant, fiber type, etc. An experimental attitude is required;)
