Printing With Leaves - Silhouette

I tried cutting out leave shapes in yuppo but I just wasn’t happy with the results. It is Autumn here and there is a wealth of windfall leaves around so I decided to go with the actual leaves and use them as a mask on the gel plate. I also used some bits of palm fibre to get the squiggly lines in the prints. Experimenting with colour as I go. These are just basic silhouette shapes - It is the ghost prints that I am interesting in pulling off the plate. Still using just the basic colours in Golden open acrylics.
