The Fern Leaf

Inspired by Wednesday's walk I set up my desk and made some art;

I picked out the fern leaf as an interesting motif to work from, and started with some inky drawings;

I then began to work with a colour story  I hadn't used before;

Black
White
Gold

After making the inky drawings I progressed on to printing with fern leaves and using them as stencils.

I also introduced a triangle stamp, I liked the contrast of the geometric shape with the natural form of the fern leaf. It was also a nice way link in the colour story with block colour.

 Finally I experimented with pattern making. I used really basic techniques/media which made for a scruffy/rustic look which I think works well.
