I attended a print workshop this weekend, on Vashon Island, near Seattle Washington, by a creative and talented artist, Mary Margaret Briggs. Not only was it a gorgeous weekend, perfect summer weather on the island, but a really fun/ productive/ learning weekend as well.
We started by choosing plants from the gorgeous garden, and then using the plants, created prints. We used
only a few colors, red, brown, orange, green and blue, to keep the range harmonious. We printed the whole first day, explored the different textures different plants produced, and adding colors, etc. Here are a few of my favorites.
These were peony leaves, which really printed well!
Some others were pretty also, with blues and greens. The textures are very nice.
A couple of my favorite are the oranges and browns in this plant, Not sure what it is, but it's slightly velvety leaves are really pretty.
The second day we spent selecting our favorite prints, and working with them to create a nice collage. I am super happy with how it turned out. It is @ 20" x 24", and 2 inches tall. (Gallery wrap style.)
Now, where to hang it...................................hope you all have a great Tuesday! More information on the weekend workshops, go
