Hand-printed nettle leaves the Japanese Hapa Zome way
I love working naturally and chemical free
Using Japanese Hapa Zome printing some delightful images can be created.
Small dye baths were made to naturally extract colour from vegetable plant waste. I love to use onion and avocado skins and root turmeric.
Using slow stitching running stitch with some seed stitching a pretty sample can be made for framing or making into a collage or something larger, let your imagination run wild.
