Botanical print on cotton by Rebecca Desnos | Naturally Dyed Textiles 🌿
The leaves and flowers here are hammered onto fabric, then the print is ironed to help set the color. It's ideal to wait a few weeks before rinsing it—the longer you wait, the better the print will last.
This print features a number of springtime plants that will soon be sprouting, including nettle, dandelion, and violet.
