So much more is visible when you look at the detail of this print from the plate, the leaf looks fragile , hand drawn and has a historical botanical feel about it, this was printed on paper , however I think being a textile practitioner  I should try this on linen or calico, then I need to see if the body of the leaf changes at all. I have done this in the past with lace and it has been very successful, first printing on cloth and then taking a negative, not only do you get the print of the object but also the weave of the cloth .

Natural Dyes. Picking the odd flower from the garden and using it as a source to dye the fabric and paper I will be using in my project Fragments. I'm not sure how they will be used yet, I may well incorporate them into some of my printwork or play on the fact they are fragments, I think the best thing for now is to keep them all together and see how the colours play with each other.
