I am still experimenting with this theme of leaves. The leaves I had dried have all been used up. Now that winter has come with less and less tree leaves, I have decided to use the few flower leaves remaining in our garden before they die.
I have expanded my use of mixed technique, besides using collography, drawing, painting, collage I also now use monoprinting and the best of all just plain old leaf printing which I loves as a child. And that is how I feel, a child exploring and playing with matter. I let the leaves guide me and the outcome always astounds me. I will be selling a little over 60 of the best as originals with the possibility of reproductions as well. And the remaining will be sold only as reproductions.
