Text of the page (random words):
ted in the beginning of the season oxalis and eucalyptus and over dyed with madder this piece was printed a few days ago when the oxalis season is slowly going down it is printed by terriea kwong when she visited me and you can recognize immediately her hand writing on this piece printed last week with only upper side of the leaves oxalis flowers and more same piece as the previous and another one over dyed with chestnut wood the silver piece printed with the upper side of leaves and the chestnut piece with the back since you are working with natural oxalic acid from the plant it is important to protect yourself while working the kids in israel like to gather them and chew the stems because of the sour taste i never heard anyone hurt by this but still it will good to cook or steam your bundle in a ventilated place and when you open your bundles wear mask because you don t want to breath nothing that come up i m having a lot of problems managing the graphics of my posts text are changing by itself to a different sizes and the alignment of photos and text also moving by themselves without having the possibility to control it any tips how the blogger can work better will be appreciate i m an apple user thank you פורסם על ידי irit dulman ב 10 19 am 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday september 30 2017 things i want to say for the last three summers i have been teaching botanical print in a combination of natural dyeing in july 2015 in portland oregon i gave the first workshop where i presented these ideas for the first time in 2015 these ideas and techniques were very innovative and my workshop was the first to teach this path these pictures show my early work from before i begun to explore the combination of botanical print and natural dyes i think it will be right to mention that on the same time two artists created a technique called medium print the medium print gave kind of the same look both techniques brought new and fresh colors into the scene of botanical print both also dealt with creating backgrounds but the techniques and material used were completely different i used natural dyes like weld logwood madder etc while the medium print used synthetic commercial dyes we also have developed different methods of doing my work has always begun with mordanted and dyed fabric while the medium print used the carrier cloth blanket to dye the background and the leaves acted as a resist the year before my first class in portland was devoted to all kinds of experimentation with botanical print and natural dyeing i was looking for a way to develop a new direction with the botanical print that i was already working and teaching for three years before in those early years i used methods such as printing with iron pipes infusing leaves with iron water and iron blankets etc i ve tried every possible way i knew to combine natural dyes into the process and eventually after a lot of experiments i found that the best results for this combination were with iron blanket the iron blanket technique was revealed to me by terriea kwong when she came to visit me in tel aviv at that time the iron blanket was a method used only on white fabrics during this process and investigation i ve also found the ability of the leaves to discharge it was a surprising discovery that could only be discovered while working with pre dyed fabrics because there are nothing to discharge on white fabric these pictures shows my path to find the right method to combine natural dyes with eco print these pieces are all made using iron pipes method and was dyed before or after the print these pictures are the first prints in which i discovered the ability of plants to discharge both made with iron pipes method these pictures are my first experiments of printing with iron blanket on a pre dyed fabrics and the use of tannin in the work and here i want to share a great frustration i had not even two days have passed since this unique and innovative workshop in portland and to my amazement i found out that all my work and my achievements all the inspiration i received from colleagues and all the results of my experiments were published on botanical print groups in fb as a simple formula a kind of cake recipe a post that gives no credit and no minimal respect for the long way and the long process that has created and opened new horizons i will add now details about the method i taught in this particular workshop and the workshops that came after at the same year all fabrics were mordanted with alum and dyed with a chosen dye the leaves were laid on the fabric and were covered with iron blanket another option was to dip the fabric in any kind of tannin solution and to continue the same way as described above this option with the tannin gave a darker background around the leaves today it might sounds obvious but then it was a novelty in the field i ve learned about the chemical reaction of tannin and iron in michel garcia video and the most from my natural dyeing teacher leentje van hengle that i also owe her most of my knowledge regarding mordants and dyes these works were created by students in the mentioned workshop in portland july 2015 a class that its content was shared online days after the class was over and later has been copied and retaught by the organizer of the workshop herself darcel daigh eileen scuba coffey lisa kan eileen scuba coffey beate krieger and now i want to write about my present work in the last year i have extended and developed this path and created a new visual language which i have been sharing with my students since late last summer i can see it already begins to flow slowly into the net again in a form of formula without any credit i want to give some background about my latest development sometime during winter 2016 i started to question the previous technique especially the use of iron blanket with the dyes i ve already taught many classes with this method and with my formula that was shared online there were already many people working with it as time past something began to bother me more and more although the technique i taught brought depth and details all other works i saw online based on this formula looked like an empty stamps of leaves with no depth with some exceptions of plants used such as sumac or ginkgo that can give a nice discharge on dyed fabric or eucalyptus that gives a wonderful color that blends nicely with the color of the fabric walnut is a good example of a plant that can actually print itself without any help or support and there are some more the rest look like silhouettes and ghosts leaves in the beginning i ve tried to solved the problem by painting the leaves with natural dyes extracts this brought back details inside many leaves and gave very colorful results but i had doubts regarding this path it looks artificial in my opinion even if it was done completely with natural ingredients here are some examples last summer when i was teaching a class in canada i ve had a student that made a wonderful mistake we ve used community buckets and somehow norman blanchard got confused between the bucket of iron and the bucket of tannin the fabric accidentally was dipped in iron and the blanket in tannin he did it the opposite way at first i took it as a mistake but later on i ve found myself waking up in the middle of the night and it hit me i ve realized that this mistake is similar to a technique i ve used to work with in my early days dipping the fabric in iron water placing leaves and then roll the difference is that it s connected to the way i m working now days immediately i ve started to investigate this mistake and to push this discovery a few steps forward after a period of experimentation i got a broader view of the possibilities this path can leads and i ve started to teach and experiment it with my students late last summer besides developing it to a higher level i ve also added more layers to this basic technique by adding different dyes to it sometime mostly as post dyeing today i got to a point that this technique is solid clear and has many possibilities of course i m not saying that there is no way to continue developing it there is always a way i name this technique 3d print with a reverse discharge note if you are going to try this technique and produce work according to it which you are going to share on any social media or anywhere else in public you should credit me use this name to describe it use this 3dprintrd hashtag and add link to my blog https goo gl w1k3hp thank you i would like to describe now the basics which is going to explain the 3d aspect but i will keep the reverse discharging topic to my next post the work are being created in steps the basic step will be to create a basic print on white fabric it is made when the fabric is being dipped in iron water then the leaves are being placed on the fabric and everything is covered with a blanket that carries tannin so a background around the leaves is being created when iron and tannin meet actually it s the technique that is already known to many but in the opposite order there is a lot to say about the importance of the background and the post dyed print but again i will keep the details on this topics to my next posts switching sides between iron and tannin brought details inside the leaves you can get the impression of the veins and different textures inside the leaf leaves can be placed now on top of each other and create a blend image and a 3d look these are examples of my own basics before being post dyed and these are examples of basic prints made by my students in the classes from late summer 2016 until now susana penaloza donoso lucia higuchi eva don wendy hardman adriana loyarte vivi gauda marialil escobar i m always using just the same three ingredients to print sometimes but not always i mordant my fabrics with alum and than tannin and iron that s all as an extra to get more bright colors into the work i use various natural dyes i never use discharge additives of any kind all the discharge effects i get are from the leaves themselves without using any other substance i experiment with different arrangements of the same process with the same ingredients it always surprises me how much you can get with just a few materials this simplicity was gained with a lot of work and experience only in this way we can simplify things into a precise formula that contains all the experience and hard work vision and experimentation are the two important sides i don t believe in the assumption that everything is just technical techniques are being created only if there is a vision i acquired a lot of experience in identifying possibilities mistakes surprises and the way to investigate them further many times it requires sisyphean consistency my samples work are piling up very quickly in my studio they are precious to me and they will never become scarves for sale they documents my investigations learning and development and always contains even more for later i will never let them go the working side well besides my experimentation in my own studio it also includes traveling around the world and teaching which might looks very tempting to others but in reality traveling so often is not an easy life at all teaching many people helping them with their difficulties in understanding and or with the making is something that forces you even more to find simpler ways so as i said in the beginning of this post taking the entire scope of the work that i have just described rolling it down into a formula and sharing it on social media in a kind of copy paste method that doesn t contains all of the mentioned above is a sin to the truth in my opinion i think there s a lot of chaos in the botanical print community and it s time to create a more respectful dialogue that brings recognition to the creators and their contribution to this field i m not talking only about myself there are other artists in this community that i think do not get the recognition they deserve but don t get me wrong i have nothing against my students who teaches and shares what they ve learned from me locally or between friends or if my methods are streaming to the internet and inspires or improves other people work but i do have a problem with people who are featuring on fb groups all of the content techniques and ideas of my latest class they ve just attended sharing my own words and explanations about my discoveries that they ve heard from me in the class as their own i think it is not fair you can think my ego is the one who speaks here but i never teach what other teachers already teach i always teach my own and i wonder about the ego of those who shares without acknowledging their teachers and what motivates them to lock their teachers in the basement these teachers are artists who are the cutting edge of this field and the ones who are pushes it forward i m getting inquiries from other teachers and artists that feels the same way being locked in the basement by a former student they are asking me how do i deal with this phenomena and i don t have any answers or solutions to give them that s why i m writing this post in behalf of those artists i call all botanical prints group admins to establish a more ethical and respectful dialogue in this community especially in the groups that you must share the technique you used additionally i m calling all of the artists that feels that they re not getting the proper recognition for their contribution to unite together maybe together we will be able to create a more ethical codes and conventions in this field above all i would like to credit india flint who have opened this wonderful path to me and to the entire world and without her work maybe none of this have been here our works became so different but she is still one of my favorite and finally as it is yom kipur today which in our culture it is a day of intersection and forgiveness i would like to apologize for public incidents in which i burst out of control toward situations described earlier sometimes it makes you feel so helpless and its hurts and these kind of things happens and i regrant them if you are my student and i use your work made in my class in this post please let me know so i can credit you under the picture פורסם על ידי irit dulman ב 9 53 pm 65 comments email this blogthis share
