coming up roses

And why am i showing this on the group blog? Because if you have any interest in eco printing with rose leaves (and a few other leaf types as well), i am a floral designer by day–that means i have access to rose leaves all year round. If you’d like any, just contact me and i’ll save you some, no cost, no hidden agenda.
The photo on top was done with leaves from a naturalized Alberta rosa, leaving delicate prints, but not a lot of detail. The ones below were done with commercial rose leaves, resulting in a more robust and at the same time finely detailed print.
All done on silk, cooked for 2 hours with a small alum mordant, then left for 4 days to ripen.

This is my first exhibit in 17 years and my first solo! I’m obviously excited and scared all at the same time. The Untitled Art Society approved my submission for their +15 Window ( located nearby the Jack Singer Concert Hall) in the Calgary Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts. The show opens on April 9th and will run until May 30th. Read More
