"Yellow is the color of the east, childhood, and morning."
Jeffrey D Anderson
A lovely use for spotted knapweed. The card on the left is using an alum mordant (along with some other plants) and the one on the right is using copper as the mordant. |
The leaves of arrowleaf balsamroot also make a lovely limey to citrus yellow, see below. |
It never ceases to amaze me that most everything starts out green! |
The magic begins! |

If you would like to see the yellow scarves in person I will be at the Manito Art Festival this Saturday from 10-6. Come by booth 37 and see all the pretty things!
If you are interested in eco printing on paper, I am offering an accordian journal class at the Spokane Art School on June 29th.
Hope to see you soon!
