Commission ~ Your favorite garment naturally ecoprinted ~ Cotton / Linen

Commission me to naturally ecoprint your favorite garment!

Let me create a beautiful piece of wearable art from one of your pieces of clothing that you know fits and suits you well! I'll forage for suitable leaves and naturally create a one of a kind piece for you using alchemical plant processes.

This is a unique, creative & variable process, so please read the conditions carefully below before proceeding.

How it works:
- Add this 'Commission' to your shopping cart & checkout, selecting the relevant shipping option (for when I return your item to you).
- You'll receive an email from me with further details including my shipping address.
- Send me your item of clothing, thoroughly washed & clean, clearly labelled with your name & address.
- Email me with any preferences for creative inspiration (see pictures for ideas).
- I'll naturally ecoprint your garment and return it to you by courier. Shipping worldwide.

Please note:

- I welcome any indications that you have for the style that you prefer. Eg busy & chaotic prints, tidy & orderly, simple, orderly , or any particular leaf that you are drawn to: Eucalyptus, Rose, Herb Robert, Feijoa, Japanese Maple, Japanese Knotweed. However in saying this, I intend to use my own creativity to create a one of a kind piece of wearable art. I'll use your suggestion as a starting point, however the outcome will follow my own creative flair. Thanks for understanding.
- The supplied garment must be 100% natural fibres. Eg. Cotton, Linen, Hemp. Bamboo & Viscose ecoprint well as they're created from natural fibres. Polyester & Acrylic will not dye. 5% polyester in a garment is ok, anymore than this and the fabric will not take up the dye sufficiently to give good results. A blend of natural fibres is ok, eg cotton/linen, linen/viscose.
- Ecoprinting onto cotton/linen/hemp is a process whereby the tannins from the leaves extracts onto the fabric creating a leafprint. I use a homemade iron mordant to bond the leafprint to the fabric, which results in a black colored print. Please note that I do not dye the fabric a particular color during this process (which would require further mordants which I do not use as not homemade), I simply add the tannin prints to the garment using a natural process. The result will be that your garment will remain pretty much the same original color black ecoprints on top. If you would like bright orange/red/brown prints on your garment, check out the WOOL commission option.
- You are 100% responsible for supplying a high quality natural fibre garment. I don't take any responsibility for the quality of the fabric supplied, and as below do not offer refunds or exchanges.
- No wedding dresses please. I cannot guarentee results & don't want you to be dissapointed.
- There are no refunds or exchanges. Natural dyeing & ecoprinting is a one of a kind variable process with unique and individual results every time. There are many factors contributing to the results including: quality of the natural fibres, age of garment and how much it's been washed in the past, time of year, quality of leaves used, quality of water, dye process. I cannot guarentee any particular result. By sending me your garment you are giving me 100% creative license to create a unique piece of wearable art, with no predetermined outcome. If for any reason you don't like the result, it's upto you to gift or pass it onto someone that will.
- There is no definitive timeframe for how long this process will take. I do not do RUSH orders. I will naturally dye your garment when I have the correct materials on hand to do so well, and when creative inspiration takes me. This could take anywhere from a few days to a month. I'll endeavour to return your item to you within a month max.
- Please note that I grow or forage all of the plants that I use to ecoprint. The plants vary with the seasons, some leaves are not available in the middle of winter , some leaves I cannot forage easily. Please be prepared for variation, and as above it may take me some time to source certain leaves.
- If you have thoroughly read and agree to all of the above, please continue to checkout and I look forward to working some creative magic on your garment!

About the pricing: Naturally ecoprinting onto cellulose fibres (cotton, linen, hemp ) requires additional scouring, mordanting and post washing which is a time consuming & slow process. It takes longer to do this on cellulose fibres than on wool, which is why there is a difference in price. The quoted price also takes into account the time involved in liaising with you, admin for creating a piece to order. Thanks for understanding.
