I’ve been eco-printing for over a decade, and it still surprises and amazes me that such a simple method can create these perfect leaf prints. It doesn’t feel like it should work! 🌿 There are a lot of different methods of eco-printing. Some are more complicated or require special materials. But I love the simplicity of the method I teach in my ebook, Gum Leaf Alchemy. Literally all you need to buy is some white vinegar (cleaning vinegar). Then you can gather some old clothing, rusty metal, leaves, an old cooking pot and some string. That’s it. It’s really that basic. 🌿 If you’d like to learn the full process, including how to make and use a simple homemade mordant and how to prepare your leaves, click the link to view my ebook.
