I am absolutely inspired, Traci!! I love what you've shown us in this video! I love collecting interesting leaves and other flora out in our woods and often wonder what all I could do with it. For instance, lichen. I don't know if you have it there, but it is such a wonderful texture and comes in different shapes. Now I need to look into acrylic paints and textile medium! That final piece with the netting---Oh my! So easy!

Hi Kay, yes I do love lichen. I have so many photos of lichen, fungi and leaf litter. It is all beautiful.!

When you lift your foliage off the plate, you can use a piece of paper to lift the print made from the 'underside' of the foliage.

[@artfiberstitch]

I did do some, and also used a scrap paper I added the last of the paint left of the print, and you end up with a really unique piece of interesting paper.

[@mareimontalvo2725]

@artfiberstitch ah...good! I was hoping you would capture those "underside" prints!

I love watching your videos and learning from you. Thank you! I was wondering, if the fabric won't be washed, does it still need the textile medium?

[@artfiberstitch]

No need for it if it won’t be washed. 😊
