Everything is starting to bloom in New England.
Today I gathered some violets and apple blossoms from the woods.
Then I plate with printing them with the XCut Xpress craft press.
I had some pleasing results.
I tried to keep the buds alive by keeping them in water until I was ready to print.
- I just positioned the flower on dry print paper.
- Covered with drawing paper and felt
- Then ran it through the press
It is amazing the delicate details that are captured. Enjoy!
