More Experiments

Using just weeds and plants in my garden, I created the above print with the tops of carrots from the vegetable garden, the leaves of thistles and the yellow flowers of the Oxalis plant. The final touches were made with tiny daisy flowers from the nature strips, more weeds. I usually press and dry vegetation before printing with it, but this time I used fresh foliage and flowers. The Oxalis flowers are very fragile, so I could only print with them once before the flowers fell off, but that was enough. The daisies too started to fall apart after 1 or 2 dabs onto the paper.

Here I went back to an earlier print of the light on water and added several different prints from fresh blades of grass. I then made a small screen of a drawing of a pier and printed that. I called this 'Lake's Edge'.
