Speaking of Gelatin Plate Prints with plant material . . . . I am happy to share this piece, which is featured in the "Celebrate Spring!" show at the International Quilt Festival in Chicago!
The blocks are a group of gelatin plate prints I made last spring when the leaves were just emerging here in Montana. I tried to capture that lovely new spring green color and used leaves from the chokecherry trees off my patio, where I watch the birds at my feeders.
The border and twig fabric was painted, then block printed.
