Nature printing - leaves
This is an easy and fun project for kids and adults. To keep this simple, and hopefully for you to be able to use items you already have in your home, I'm using acrylic paints. I'm printing the leaves of the Hardenbergia violacea (or Happy Wanderer) an Australian native plant that is fairly common, and is also grown in many suburban gardens. You could use different leaves - Eucalyptus would be great, or anything that has some prominent veins. I'll show you the basics and then a few ideas for projects using the prints.
