I really like this. It’s refreshing.
Thanks, Mary Lou!
I love this one
Thanks, Harriette!
Cindy, know how to do this layering process on my larger Etching press. Are you using Geli plate? How are you achieving this, if so? Think I have only one of my Geli plates here in mountains but am amazed at the Beautiful foliage and blooms bursting forth here. Painting them, but love the leaf skeletal printing you are doing.
Hi Donna. I’m using a Gelli plate (12×14″ size). I put the paint on with a brayer and lay the leaf on top of the paint. Then I make a print or two to take off as much paint as possible around the leaf. Then carefully pull up the leaf and make another print to get the veins. I make several and let them dry, then make second layers with other leaves and paint colors.
