Blue and Yellow Eco-dyed Tangling

Still exploring Eco-dyed Tangling with the Art Clubbers. This original paper of this one is not REALLY eco-dyed, it is a “faux” eco-print, where I simulated eco-dyed effects using leaves as stamps (a technique shown in detail in the Eco-dyed Tangling lesson).

One of the things I like the most about this technique is how “dreamy” the final results turn out. It doesn't matter which tangles you use, the results are always so lovely. This one turned out bold and I'm happy with the results. Here is the original paper before tangling:

I love how the leave left some purple spots in the texture, that is REALLY part of the leaf. And I also like how my technique of using an iron leaves some patterns from the paper towel, that is super cool and interesting. Here is a little step-out of the tangling and shading process:

And finally, here is a close-up of the picture once again:
