I prefer these autumn colours. And the turquoise makes a special impression too. Try whatever you think of as 'ugly fabric', it can't get worser and most of the time, it will give you a pleasant surprise!!

Ecoprint with cotton: coloured fabric
As all dyers, I have a basket full of 'not so pretty' cloth, this is excellent stuff to overprint with ecoprints!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use previously dyed cloth for some eco printing. I have a few pieces that could use something more.
