The table was ready for leaf printing this morning
and I thought I would give it a try.
I realized I rolled too much paint onto the surface
and it came off with my print, making it blurred.
But I soon learned that the children used more control
when applying paint to their leaves, therefore wasn’t a problem.
After applying the paint they covered the leaf with a piece of paper.
Then used a brayer and rolled over the paper.
I love his focus. Notice the tongue.When lifting the print, the leaf often stuck to the paper.
Difficult to tell though because the placemat is showing the reflection.
We used a variety of leaves with pleasing results.
i love how you hung the real leaf with the leaf print ...........
ReplyDeleteThanks - I got the idea by watching how some of the children were holding the leaf and their art work.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how long they'll last on the board before they curl up.
You could laminate the leaf too ;)
ReplyDeleteSarah do you mean laminate the painted leaf? That would be pretty
