Project 1B Natural Dye, Block andStencil Printin
Concept of Wild Nature (Adjusted)
Natural beauty, natural growth, uncontrollable, unruly and etc., these words can be described as Wild
Nature, the true beauty of nature in which human is not involved to create it. Landscapes, wild animals, wild
plants or even grassland are the part of wild nature that creates such a beautiful illustration to this world. In this
project the idea of wild nature is created through natural dye, block and stencil printing techniques by the
used of natural product along with natural color scheme of yellow and brown scale. This conveys the image of
sunlight and solid ground. To create patterns, materials where carved into a shape of dandelion (abstract) andthe plastic sheet were cut out into pattern of grass filed and dandelion branch. The pattern represents natural
concept to produce a textile that has an insight of beautiful scene of dandelion filed, a beautiful landscape
that is natural growth and commonly found in many areas. Through blocks and stencil used, the ideas and
concepts of Wild Nature have been brought onto the fabric.

Natural Dye
For the completion of this project, I dyed some more fabric to be used. I experiment with the red pigment from
strawberry but the result seem to be not satisfied so I decided to dyed most of the fabric to yellow color from
turmeric because I want to stick to the idea of sun light (yellow) as a background for all my artworks.
Number 1: Blown away
I chose this piece of artwork to be my Number 1 image because I was really happy with the final work. I like all
the component that are placed in different position to create a nice beautiful scene just like how I imagined it
to be. This piece of artwork strongly carried out the message I try to present onto the fabric. I enjoyed creating
all pieces of artwork even thought I got a few cuts from trying to cut out the pattern on the plastic sheet I still
enjoyed all the process. However it was quite difficult to work with multiple layer of the pattern. I needed to be
very patient to wait for the first layer print to dry first to apply the following. It was quite frustrated but really
worth it.
