Cyanotype Sun Printed Tote Bag in Calico Cotton with 10cm gusset
Size: 39x43cm
Using special light sensitive crystals painted onto the fabric, and ferns to act as resists it is exposed to sunlight transforming into delightful art, giving delicate fine details and a stunning Prussian blue.
Every garment created is unique, using various techniques of natural dyeing, botanical printing and alchemical dye practices.
I use real leaves, flowers, and extracts as well as rich plant tannins made from brewing eucalyptus bark and black walnut husks together. The tannins from this brew and the tannins found within the specifically chosen leaves create permanent prints and colouring on the fabric.
To give your garment a full life and extended vibrancy, it's a good idea to hand wash with a gentle pH neutral soap, keep washing to a minimum.
