Odtisi jesenskih listov na svilenih šalih - Autumn leaf prints on silk scarves

Liste iz prejšnje objave sem že uporabila. Natisnila sem jih na svileni šal Pongee08. Prav dobro so se odrezali. Škoda, da je zdaj vse listje že odpadlo z vej, začelo razpadati v večdnevnem dežju in za tisk ni več uporabno. 
Podlago sem barvala z vrbo, natisnila sem javorjevo listje. 
Na notranjem šalu prevladuje vrbova barva, odtisi listov so samo nakazani (ginko).
Spodaj je še nekaj slik šalov.

The leaves from the previous post have already been put to use.  I printed them on a silk scarf Pongee08. They performed very well. It's a pity all the leaves have fallen from the branches, started rotting after several days of heavy rains and can not be used for eco printing any more. 
The background was dyed with willow on which maple leaves were then printed. 
On the inner scarf the willow colour dominates and the leaves are just subtly printed (gingco). 
Below are some more pictures of the two scarves.

 

  

Jesensko listje za tiskanje - Autumn leaves for printing

Ko grem mimo kakega drevesa, še lepo obloženega z barvitim jesenskim listjem, si ne morem kaj, da ne bi listov nabirala. Doma jih vložim med liste papirja in obtežim s težkimi knjigami. Tako ostanejo lepo ravni in jih kasneje lahko uporabim za tiskanje. Nekateri listi barvo izgubijo in porjavijo, nekateri pa obdržijo vsaj nekaj barve. Skušala bom vsaj nekaj te barve prenesti na svilo. Če že ne bodo dali barve, bodo pa služili kot šablona in na blagu pustili svoj odtis.

In English:
I just can't refrain from picking beautiful autumn leaves when I pass by a tree still rich in coloured leaves. I put them between sheets of paper and weight them with large heavy books. In this way they remain flat so I may use them later for eco printing. Some may lose their colours to shift to plain brown but some retain at least part of the colour. I'll try to make them impart their colour to silk fabric. And if not, they will still behave as a resist and produce some print.
