Students with some experience may want to make their own stamps. Or carve larger stamps. Use Dr. Scholl's shoe pads or thin foam rubber glued to scrap wood. Use alphabet stamps to write messages for garments or for quilt borders. Or make decorative stamped panels for the backs of quilts.
Paint is spread onto the glass, evened out with the brayer, and then brayered onto a leaf.
The leaf then becomes the printing plate. Leaves can be printed to suggest traditional block designs or used in allover patterns, bands, circles, etc. When heat set, the prints are permanent on cloth. Or collect leaves on a trip. Then try printing with other things from nature to personalize quilts . . .
