...but why does it feel so complicated?
If you are like most of my students before they start working with me, then you probably feel FRUSTRATED AND A BIT CONFUSED... there seems to be so many different plants to choose from, words like mordants and detergents and blankets...
Are you finding yourself...
- Watching you tube or instagram tutorials that promise crisp botanical fabrics but instead you’re left with dark blobs of colors that resemble mold instead of a beautiful floral imprint?
- Not knowing how to use blankets?
- Wondering which fabrics work best when printing with flowers and leaves?
- Asking yourself how you can enhance your prints using iron and color dips?
- Getting confused with the different mordants that you can use in eco printing?
I can help you
Because I was you 🌻🌻
Hi, I am Victoria Martinez Azaro, AKA, La Creative Mama, natural dyer, eco printer, creative sewer and fashion sustainability educator 🙂.
I love teaching and passing on knowledge that I have accumulated over the years through trial and error... and let me tell you, there were a lot of errors😞
My eco printing practice started with lots of experimenting... I was determined to use only sustainable materials that would create defined and bright botanical prints that would last over time.
I spent months getting not so great results which until I started working with other keen natural dyers and eco printers (who shared my sustainability views) and we started sharing our results.
Lots of trial and error, and many failed attempts...
