Bernadette Lemon danced in Wandlebury wood with one of my botanically printed textiles. It was a beautiful autumnal morning among the avenue of beach trees in the subdued morning light. The textile is bamboo silk printed with walnut, smokebush, false acacia, and dogwood leaves.

Bamboo silk is a plant-based fibre and you have to be very careful about the wet weight of this textile to arrive at a print that is crisp yet printing with a 3D effect.
