Now I’ll show you how to achieve those beautiful prints on your garments. • First of all search and choose the leaves or flowers you like. The ones left any marks on the ground will definitely give a strong print. It’s better to harvest after a few sunny days. Leaves usually lose their strength in color after the rain, because they are more diluted by water. • Choose your fabric. I recommend you to start with silk or wool as they take the dye much easier. • Next step is to place your plants anywhere you want on your garment and make a tight bundle. • Now you can steam or boil it. Try both methods. They will give you different results. The duration ranges about 30 minutes to 6 hours, depending on which plants are used. Don’t overcook. Colors from some plants can start disappearing if you leave it for too long. So check on it regularly and don’t forget to add more water if necessary. • Take the fabric out and let it cool down and dry. This will allow for a stronger print. Time really matters when it comes to eco-printing. This part of the process is always very exciting. • Let your fabric hang in the shade and dry completely before rinsing. You don’t have to rinse at all if you don’t want to. Quite often, it will smell really good and you can just wear it straight away. https://www.mochni.com/eco-prints-learn-the-process-of-all-natural-eco-printing/ 25.

This can occur only when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned, with earth between the other two. A lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the moon's closeness to either node of its orbit. During a total lunar eclipse, earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does.
