Eco-printing is a technique where plants, leaves and flowers leave their shapes, color, and marks on fabric. Plant material bundled inside of cloth is steamed or boiled to release the dye found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used.  The results are exceptional and unpredictable which make them an exciting and unique art form!

These scarves are created in many steps, using fresh leaves and flowers. Each scarf is unique and takes several days to complete.

This scarf was background-dyed with green and eco-printed with walnut, fern, maple, and poplar collected in Northern California.
