I have taken a 5 day class from India Flint. I have found some eucalyptus but am having a hard time getting clear prints. You obviously steam the bundles. How long? Did you use a mordant?
I live on San Juan Island--so we have the same wild plants as Western Canada. Janet Wright

Hi Janet ..sorry to take so long, just found your post....generally I boil my prints but also do steam them at times...and so,etimes I mordant and mostly I let the iron/copper/aluminium pot that I boil it in do the mordanting...it did take me a few years to get prints that I really liked....so keep at it, and I do bundle really tightly and I don't wait days to unroll, let them cool and then unroll....
