The ninth in my series of Botanical Memories. Using the ecoprinting technique, petals from justdahlias (justdahlias.co.uk) are imprinted into the silk habotai. Some botanics print quite distinctly and others, like these, create more vague shapes, giving a lovely ethereal and watercolour quality. This selection is composed of various shades of brown on a warm brown painterly background, with a slight touch of yellow.
Due to the random placement of the petals, and their individual reactions to the dyeing process, each ribbon is completely unique. The photographs show a selection of the variations in each ribbon. Available in one type of silk:
Habotai: a soft, smooth, lightweight silk with a lovely shimmer and drape. Torn and frayed for that natural look.
