Very impressive. If I had been doing it, there would be finger prints all over the fabric, but you are so neat!

Kathy, Thanks, but you can do this! Just a little practice.

I haven't tried leaf printing with paints, I use leaves to print a water based resist on silk, then dye over the resist with silk dyes, then dye the background, as you can see. PS I took your ice dyeing class a few years ago.

[@LyndaHeines]

Your work is lovely! Thank you for taking my ice dyeing class. I never thought about using resist with my leaves. What a great idea! I'll have to put that on my list to do since I'm real into resists right now! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

@@LyndaHeines There are so many ways to do leaf prints. I taught a class for the Nature Printing Society and they were thrilled to have a class on printing on silk. Most of their classes were printing on paper - leaves, fish and other natural items. I mostly use resists and dyes because I sell scarves, and don't want the feel of paint on the silk, while the resist completely rinses out. I have used paints on black ties. Thanks for your reply!

Thank you very much for this! I would like to try this on a t-shirt. Perhaps ironing over the images (with a press cloth, of course) would make them more permanent and colorfast.

[@LyndaHeines]

Mary, However you use this technique you need to heat set the paint so it is permanent. Yes, It would work on a t-shirt for sure. Have fun!
