Trying a Reprint


Almost 40 years ago, my mother gave me two pieces of African print cloth. She did not know they were African, she just loved them. Combs and fruit baskets. I have never found fabrics like this, original indigo prints on a batik background. My print colors (fabric paints by Marabu) are way lighter, they do not reach the intensity of the original.


  

Maybe I'll find a way to intensify my printing ink.
