You might notice I have changed my blog back to the normal layout. As much as I love the interactive layout, some friends, were having problems, so I changed back.
I have had another big printing session. I collected some leaves from the trees at the community house yesterday and I love the prints I get with real leaves.
Above is an example. Aren't they gorgeous!
I use my silicone plate for this technique and it gives such wonderful detail. I don't know what I will do with all the prints, but I just like looking at them and there is the added bonus that if you don't clean the plate every time, you get some mixtures, like the one above.
Here are a few more
These ones have two layers. That is they were printed twice, once with the leaves still on the plate and once with the leaves taken off.
These two were printed twice as well, but from different plates.
This was also printed twice, both from the final print
This one is a bit special. sometimes if you are not quick, the final print, which is the beautiful one, dries on the plate before you can print it. But I have found that if you roller paint over very gently and wait a few moments for the rollered paint to re wet the dried paint, you can lift a print like this.
I have more prints, but these are my favourites. I will post a short tutorial tomorrow, as I don't want to make the post too long!
Happy Creating!
