Ecoprinting on cotton

Cotton is a little more difficult to ecoprint because vegetable fibres don't take the colour as well.  But if you rust dye it first and then add some plant material to it you get better results.  You're limited to brown and black but the results are good.   This a sumac branch that I folded into previously rust dyed cotton fabric.  I also sprinkled on some black tea for extra tannin.
