Basically it was hammering the everloving tar out of plants onto a pillowcase. This photo is of it with residual plant bits still on it; I’ll brush those off when they dry.
It was really interesting to see how the different plants and plant parts reacted. I don’t know that I’ll go super far down this rabbit hole, but I am eager to play with the technique on watercolor paper.
Some of our early experiments on paper and muslin:
The instructor suggest hitting it with an iron to help set it. There’s also stuff you can do to prep the fabric beforehand, but this did not have that, so we’ll see.
@endymion it actually wasn’t too bad. We had magazines underneath that helped dampen the noise.
