Did you know that … ?

Some curiosities for you!

• ‘Békla’ is made up of two words: béc and klar

Secondly, it also contains my first and last name

• A matrix requires an average of 100 hours of engraving 

  (Not counting the time spent on planning and transferring the design)
  
  

• The plants I use most for creating inks are walnut, chestnut, madder, reseda, rhubarb, galium, bramble and nettle.

  Occasionally, I also use indigo to obtain blues, and it is the only cultivated plant I purchase.

  I love using what my local area has to offer, and there are so many possibilities.
  
  

• The paper I use comes from the waste of large factories

• The fabrics are organic or vintage (such as cotton, linen, hemp, wool, silk) and are completely natural. I prefer to use fabrics from the past rather than encourage the production of new ones, even if they are organic.

• The printed fabrics require two weeks to dry, due to the natural inks. They need a lot of time to fix!

• I create musical artwork, company logos and personalised stamps (see the FAQ page for more information).
