  • Eco Ink -Print & Dye May 2025

    Ink samples from avocado skin using the ‘Make Ink’ method by Jason Logan

    Eco print starting point. White cotton mordant with Epsom salt, vinegar and salt. Grey cotton mordant with rust, vinegar and salt. Selection of garden plants to try. Some presoaked some not.

    Layout of plants.

    Outcome sample. After just below boiling for two hours. No clear print yet beautiful colours.

    All in a day or two of experimenting with ecco print and inking.

    Outcome I prefer the inking process alot less fuss and time. However, on saying that once I nail it, I am sure that will be different.

    Thank you Karin for being a fellow experimenter in the processes.

  • Shadow puppets

    These shadow puppets where made from hand dyed and glued papers and cut out from a template during a workshop at Brunswick Neighbourhood House in 2019 for the Sea is Sinking Installation. The handles are meat skewers glued with tag paper.

    Home screens can be made from sheets hung in a light filled window or put the puppet in front of a lamp pointing to a wall or intense midday sun outside. Play and experiment.
