Ecoprint with cotton: like a painting

Sometimes, the randomly placed leafs turn out to be a little picture in itself. Because of the wrapping, the outer part of the fabric will be darker than the inner part. That makes a nice 'still life'!
You might even try to make your own little 'still life':

    Wonderful posts all month! I can't wait to finish moving and to have some fun with this. Has anyone found a good source in the US for the iron sulfate? I'm looking at the 20% ferrous sulfate offered by Amazon.
