It's been a messy day of inks, wax and salt. The kind of day that dyes my fingers hues of blue and green!
I started by painting a large sheet of paper with ink colours. To this I printed on different leaves and feathers that I had collected on my morning walk.
Once dry, the first print that I started to develop with paint pen was this rowan leaf print. I kept the design quite simple, bringing out the shape of the leaf and details like veins with blue and white.
I will be developing more images in this series over the next few days.

I really like seeing how people use natural materials that they have collected, in their art. I'm looking forward to the whole series!
I'm tagging this with the #foraging tag, because you are using plants that you have collected as a basis for your art. If you add the Foraging tag to any other posts like this, it will be easier for me to find it and consider it for the SteemTrail @foraging-trail curation. You can find out more here and here.

Thank you, The colours are bold but the prints are delicate- especially the feathers that I'm hoping to work on in the next few days.

OK. I know Ash but not mountain Ash but I think I have seen leaves very similar to this near my house.

I can't wait to see what you do with the feathers. Will this all be part of one piece or a true series?
