When I created this #artjournal to digest the terrible images and news of a #wildfire, I had no idea how much the condition could become the new "normality" in so many countries. #Rust and hammer printing, and wild stitches. #wildfires #art #artistsOfMastodon #Rustprint #hammerPrint #ecodyeing #TatakiZome #WildStitching #embroidery #mixedmedia #printing

The wild herb #Geranium robertianum was introduced early in #gardens because of #FolkMedicine. It's rich in tannins and essential oils. Therefore I love it for #EcoDyeing and #EcoPrinting. As a child, I believed that its seeds can fly like a bird. In German it's named stinkender #Storchschnabel, stinking stork beak, for the form of the fruits. Geranium's #cranesbills are also bec de grue (crane) in France, but in Alsace bec de cigogne (stork)! #florespondence #WildHerbs #NatureMatchCuts
