March 9--Flower Smashing Mordanted (alum) silk scarf, |
plastic on sturdy porch bench, old towel, silk scarf, flowers, |
second plastic bag, wooden mallet |
Flowers used: Viola, violet, grape hyacinth, violet leaves, |
kale leaves. |
Results: Violas worked nicely, leaves were hard to get an |
impression from, kale didn't really work for me, violets |
were to small, hyacinth seem to be good now, but some of |
the debris needs to dry and come off |
Crepe de Chine may be the best type of silk for this |
process, and the Habotai was rather flimsy. |
This could be resmasheed, I think, maybe spraying with vinegar first to see what that does.
