Using unexpected tools will give you unexpected results – you can quote me on that! We have printed with some pretty interesting things here at Homeology before, but I wanted to see what I can do with leaves from the garden. And as always, Nature didn’t disappoint!
Succulents
Using the whole flower as is, or cutting through a few of the leaves and using them to create little patterns both work really well. I even used the flowers to created a dripped effect on paper – perfect for gift wrap!
Leaves
A leaf has such a fantastic pattern to print with. Just roll some paint onto either the front or the back, and press against the desired surface. I discovered that the area I used to paint the leaves made a magnificent reverse pattern as well: it’s almost like I used the leaf as a stencil!
Gigantor
And then things got a little crazy and I wanted to see what I can do with a Delicious Monster. I have to admit that I am curiously excited to try this on a VERY big wall surface. Anyone willing to offer their living room for a Homeology experiment? Send us an email here!
Happy Playing!
Pragtig Ger! Nog nooit gesien nie. Ek hoop julle gaan ‘n materiaal en muurpapier lyn hiermee uitbring.
Baie dankie!! Ons is besig met baie exciting goed op die oomblik – hou ons dop!x
Thanks for sharing. Truly amazing.
