Plant Printed Sketchbook

 

Take a look through Linda’s plant printed sketchbook. The pages for this book were plant printed using her simple method. They were then bound together by Laura to make the book. Linda’s added drawing, stamping, painting with watercolour and acrylic ink and some small collage elements.

If you’re intrigued by plant printing please do take a look at our video workshop on the topic which included a lesson from Laura on how to make your own sketchbook from the papers you create. Details below.
