Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you! If you try the drying part in a more sheltered area, hopefully it will be better. Softer leaves like nasturtiums will also stick to your fabric better so will be less likely to blow away. Hopefully that helps and you get to try it again with some success! 🙂
@@JohnDoe-bj7fb My guess is that glass would impede the natural drying process of the sun. The sun dries the exposed areas of the painted fabric quicker than the area under the leaves and by capillary action, the paint is drawn from under the leaves into the open areas, leaving the leaf area more faint. I think overing with glass might disrupt this process.
Thanks for this great tutorial, I love the colours you used and nice to see what you made with the printed fabric 😊
This is so interesting...i am highly inspired 🙏👍😊💕
Thanks
You’re so welcome! Glad you enjoyed! 🌞
Beautiful idea! Thank you!
You’re so welcome - glad you enjoyed! 🌸
Can we use natural dye for this project?
Anything water based should work. 👍
Thanks for sharing beautiful tutorial but my leaves did not leave any print though it was a bright sunny day… it just flew away

Use glass over it as a press?
@@JohnDoe-bj7fb thank you so much 😊

Ple, send Colour brand.
The acrylic paints I used are Windsor and Newton and Reeves but any acrylic paint can be used for the technique.
