I wanted to do some eco printing with my friends so we collected some leaves--mostly pear, oak, and maple leaves from my yard, also tried some leaves from my rose, hydrangeas, and purple smoke bushes--and had a session earlier this week.
There's so many variables in ecoprinting as I guess in any kind of printing. We got some great prints and some weak prints, but we had fun and we're all really looking forward to doing it again.

Fascinating to look at - so delicate and serene. I wonder if this works with seaweed? I love how techniques like these throw out surprises.
Ooh, would not be great--seaweed would look beautiful!
As I understand it it's the tannins in the leaves that make the print work.
