Fabric design: vegetable print

My only sample of a fabric printing technique where one uses cut up vegetables to transfer paint onto cloth, here an apple and leek. I didn't apply this technique more often because I don't like wasting food - but the effect is interesting. I learned about vegetable and fruit printing at an excellent workshop facilitated by Maiwa Handprints Ltd. on Granville Island in Vancouver, Canada.
