If you want to see my ecoprinting posts for the rest of the year type “Ecoprinting throughout the year” into the search box.

Water – Tap water with rust water and vinegar.

Conclusion – Good orange yellow from tagetee. The fern leaf had Inktense crayon rubbed over the damp leaf picking up the veins, this worked quite well. The kitchen towel blanket left a texture on the eco print. Daphne paper seems to have darker prints and the paper is wrinkled a bit. Notice the colour of the tagetee print is olive green on this paper but it was orange on the other papers.
