Rich & Juicy


Been doing some botanical transfer prints with my Design 1 students.  Their results were pretty good...never less than interesting.  For myself, it yielded my best prints yet.


The pink is from fresh beets, but it faded dramatically after drying.


Above, preparing a piece of silk.  Below, a very full pot of soup (brake disc for scale).  I had to keep ladling juice out the whole time it percolated.


I have no idea where the green came from (below).



Such juicy results.  The more rusty metal in the pot, the better...more of everything really.
