Synopsis

Ever picked up a fallen leaf and wondered what it might look like pressed into fabric? You already have everything you need to start.

Eco-Print for Beginners is the friendly, no-experience-required guide to botanical contact printing — the craft of transferring real leaves, flowers, and plants directly onto cloth using nothing but heat, water, and a little patience. No chemistry degree. No expensive studio. No guesswork.

Inside, you'll find:

• A complete beginner walkthrough — fabric, mordants, plants, bundling, and fixing, explained in plain language
• A full supply shopping list, so you know exactly what to buy before you start
• Plant identification guidance, including which leaves are most reliable for beginners
• Seasonal harvesting and plant preservation tips, so you're never without material
• Both fabric AND paper eco-printing techniques
• A dedicated troubleshooting chapter covering the most common beginner mistakes
• Color recipes showing which plants produce which colors
• Four complete guided projects, from your first silk scarf to a wool wall hanging
• Care instructions to keep your finished pieces beautiful for years
• A full FAQ, glossary, and quick-reference plant and color charts

Written by a fellow hobbyist who learned this craft through plenty of trial and error, this book skips the dense chemistry and expert jargon in favor of clear, encouraging, step-by-step instruction — so your very first bundle can turn into something genuinely beautiful.

If you've been curious about eco-printing but didn't know where to start, this is the book to start with.
