printing
by plants with natural mordant
in damping process
I'am working in a handcraft that operates in an eco-friendly manner. For this type of printing, plants, herbs, vegetables, and fruits are the primary materials. Fabrics and papers can be secondhand. In fact, it is often preferable to use secondhand fabrics, as the worn texture of the fabric results in a better print.

eco-friendly, selfmade material
I am producing and using eco-friendly, self-made materials. Therefore, I use plants, herbs, recycled materials, and secondhand items. This time, I crafted brushes from plants and created ink from earth, leaves, and rusty nails. The fabrics come from secondhand stores or flea markets. Later, I incorporated moss cultures and roots that grew on the artwork.
