Leaf printing on fabric

Following the gelli printing I did with leaves on paper, I

have been doing the same on fabric. 

I am pleased with the results.

I just used leaves from the garden. Sage

and lemon balm gave the best prints,  and I have

an endless supply of them.

The fabric I used was some I had printed earlier with 

Procion dyes. The colours which worked best were

greens and blues, with copper and silver. The ones I did

with pinks and purples were quite interesting too.

Now I am thinking how I can make stitched pieces with 

the fabric I have produced. Maybe some  hand embroidery will

look good......

The garden in snow

We had a very light covering of snow this morning, so I rushed out to take some photos. The leaves look amazing with their white frosting.
