More Hand Printed Leaves

This is a darker approach to printing actual leaves on fabric. Here are rhododendron and hosta leaves- cut in half. Both of these leaves are tough and stand up to printing a big piece of fabric with one leaf of each type. The background was painted afterward (so that the leaf centers could remain lighter). My idea of fun. Click on the picture to see a close up (and on any other picture in this blog, as well).
