More Revelations

I've been trying some new techniques with my leaf printing.

Two days ago, I printed Sweet Gum leaves

from my yard

on silk.

I was totally amazed at how beautifully they printed.

There were also a few other leaves in the mix,

I think that may be Maple at the bottom,

and there were a couple of Sourwoods as well.

Below you can see about half of the piece of silk -

it's about 72" long,

the length I like for a scarf.

I'm really pleased with the outcome.

I also printed more paper in the same pot.

(I just can't get enough of the paper thing!)

These will all be wonderful in a book!

These leaves were also brushed with egg,

but I took a bit more care this time around,

and there was no staining.

.........and yes, I am having a very good time -

hope you are too!

peace
