Bougainvillea Test Bundle

Amelia Hoskins / Eco Prints, Plant dye processes / / 0 Comments

 Test bundle steam with bougainvillea petals, antirrhinums, and others.

Interesting result with orange from bougainvillea.  Navy from antirrhinums.  Probably streamed too long, causing dulling and blurring.

Folded carefully into strip then wrapped around stick and steamed on trivet.  Closed pan.  Clingfilm barrier helps highlight single petals, with out over bleeding.  No note made of time steamed.  Possibly 1hr.

Steamed result

Immediately notice bougainvillea created dayglo orange.  Dahlia leaves create pale green.  Lower part of purple marjoram flowers only brown, with too much yellow; so soaked piece in bowl with rusty nail water (iron) and raspberry juice to dull off.
