Here’s a quick video of how I wrap and unwrap eco-print bundles. Unlike many eco-printers, I don’t wrap around a stick or other firm object. I prefer to just fold the bundle in on itself and then tie tightly. This creates a semi-flexible bundle that fits easily into the dyepot.
This piece was mordanted with iron and eco-printed with eucalyptus leaves, using the method described in my ebook Gum Leaf Alchemy.
Hi Loiuse
Just signing up for your blog x
thanks for the video, as I too find it difficult to fit longer sticks into a pot. Amazing you can get clear prints when it is wrapped on itself.
Sometimes I get more bleed through, but sometimes I can get really clear prints with this simple wrapping method! I also like this method because it means you print with both sides of the leaves- more economical and faster than having to lay out leaves separately for each side of the garment!
Me gustan mucho estos trabajos. Felicidades!!
Están hermosos.

Sorry, so far it is only available in English. I hope to get it translated to a few languages in the future.
