vert soi – week-end papier/tissu – Anglais

I propose you to spend a weekend in the nature, for a reconnection with oneself and the nature, thanks to the technique of the plant print. At the end of this moment, you leave with your papers and bundle*…
to unpack 3 weeks later…

I provide the fabric and paper that you will “print”, as I would have prepared them to receive the dye and the plants.
Most of the time the stole will be a silk, a wool or a silk/wool, size 200 x 70 cm, the paper cotton watercolor paper.
For the weekend, the proposal is to bring in addition an old garment, which can be stitched during the night from Saturday to Sunday.

*package: fabric on which you put the plants, rolled and tied .
