Plant Bits.

Some of the leaves and grasses that I am printing with. The leaves I picked up on the forest floor many years ago, knowing that they would come in handy one day. Unfortunately they aren't completely skeletonised, and the bits of old leaf get stuck on the printing plate. This is one reason that I really prefer a gelatine plate, as it doesn't seem to be quite as sticky and I'm always nervous about making a hole with my forceps in the commercial plate as I lift off the tiny bits of debris.
