Wild Gum top ~ Cotton S
Created from an upcycled cotton top. Quite long length.
This piece has been slowly & naturally ecoprinted with:
~ Wild Gum leaves
~ A tannin rich dyebath from my rolling dyepot.
Size S / 10
Using only natural materials & botanicals, the colors & prints of this unique piece will naturally fade with age, washing & light exposure. Wash gently & dry in the shade.
The garment will take on a life of it’s own as it naturally ages, just like us, adding to it’s own uniqueness and individuality (just like you).
Created from natural fibres, at the end of it’s life this garment can be added to your compost heap to naturally decompose & feed the soil (very unlike synthetic clothing filled with chemicals).
More about the process:
Botanical Printing / Natural dyeing / Ecoprinting is a slow process where fabric is dyed and printed using the natural tannins, color & prints of botanicals (plants, leaves, roots, bark, flowers, lichens etc). Much like our ancestors did for generations, clothing can be colored using nature’s abundance without the use of synthetic, toxic & dangerous chemicals. The colors are truely natural (found in my garden or foraged around my neighborhood, not out of packets), depicting the colors of my local surroundings & the ever changing seasons.
