Eco Printing is a technique that transfers plant colour and shape onto fabric or paper. The method of eco printing uses the natural pigments, tannin's and acids present in leaves, by combining them with mordants, moisture and heat on fabric or paper.

My attempts of Eco Printing were somewhat positive however some of the leaves were not good at showing their pigments and shapes transferring onto the page.

Indiana Flint is an Artist, Alchemist, Author and the originator of the eucalyptus eco-print.

In 2002 she was living and working with her three children on a property on the eastern escarpment of the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia, she combines lecturing in ecologically sustainable dye processes at the South Australian School of Art with research, textile practice and farming. Most of the wool and plants used in her work is sourced from the farm. Her work is represented in a number of European Museums as well as private collections.
