Learn to Create Gorgeous Leaf Monoprints – No Gel Plate Required!

My goal for these papers is to capture the elaborate patterns and energy of each leaf. Using acrylic paint and inks, along with some highlights of silver and gold, create stunning contrasts. A good leaf for monoprinting has defined veins on its back, which will pick up the paint and ink, transferring it easily onto any type of paper.

Scavenging for unique items like leaves in my backyard, or while I am traveling, and then transforming them into one-of-a-kind collage papers, helps me to make collages that hold the energy of where I gathered my leaf treasures.  I trust you will love making these beauties as must as I did!
