Darn you, Carol. Now I had to spend $30 on more art supplies.
I scavenged some leaves from the back yard.Dug through some boxes for my brayer.
I did a test print on some muslin. I think I like this better than the real prints. A testament to the "keep it simple" thought.
This is the typing paper I use to collect the overflow paint when I "brayed" the leaf pieces.
This is cool. Now I want to toss the sewing machine and do this forever!
These are bookcovers to be.
More later.

And I am linking up with Nina Marie at Creations. Maybe I can do better in 2018 and post every week again.
Cool. What did you do for the printing media? Is it paint or dye? If dye - what type?
ReplyDeleteWell, you know my feelings on leaves...these are lovely!!!! You would even do a paper book of leaves!!! Nicely done my friend!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun! I tried some ferns before they are die which most have. What kind of paint did you use. I just used some micheals cheap acrylic and added textile medium mixed with some old dried up screen printing ink cause I already had it laying around. Yours came out great!
ReplyDeleteOhh Glen I love this!! I already have the art supplies - I really should do some these next spring when all the leaves come out again!
ReplyDeleteThe art supply purchase was well worth the expense. Love the leaf prints.
