Print and Embroidery [Tast 112]

A few weeks ago at Gill's we had a printing play day. I printed the above on fabric with a mixture of manutex and brusho powders and I used a dry leaf to make the marks.

I've layered sheer fabrics on some of it then stitched it. One of the stitches I used was feathered chain stitch [Take a stitch Tuesday 112] and the rest are running stitches.

Leaf Prints

I did these earlier on in the year, but didn't post them. If you are thinking that you have seen them before I did post some others I did at the same time but were done in a different sketch book. They started as leaf prints with emulsion paints and then I painted over the first two pages with watercolour paints and brush pens on the bottom page.  

Egg-selent

Digital arrangement.

The bird in the envelope and the egg are from The Graphics Fairy

I've added some vintage text to the egg. The background is a collage of skeleton leaves {can't see much of these} and the other leaf [s] is one I used for printing with the other day.

Leaf Printing

I got together with some friends the other day and we did leaf printing.

I used emulsion [tester pots] for the actual printing, then painted over with watercolours.

The leaf below didn't make very good prints but I like the leaf with the paint on it.

I like the colours left on these two leaves from the paint.

I think I will do something digitally with all of these at a later date.
