Leaf Printing

I know it is Saturday.  And I try not to o anything too exciting because I know you are probably off having fun with family or maybe on quilt retreat.  But this was dangled in front of me by Carol of Quilted Fabric Art.  And of course I couldn't resist.

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.
