Ferns in Retrospect

 

This will be my final entry for Halle of Halle's Hobbies at Art Journal Journey.  Halle wants us to think about Botanicals, which is her theme for July.

I named this Ferns in retrospect.  Details are below.

This is the second side of a failed sun print I recently created.   In case you missed it, the first side is here.  I laid the ferns on the first side and sprayed with a commercial spray mist (not my shimmering mists). I carefully removed the ferns which left the impression of the ferns.  While the ferns were still wet, I gently laid them on the second sheet, this one. Once they were dry, I removed the ferns.  You can see the Titan Buff paint in a few places on this sheet. 

 

I then used my sewing machine to outline the ferns using blue variegated thread.  Although I sewed all four sides, the scanner cut off one side.  Finally, I computer generated the words using my black-only toner.

Thanks for joining Bleubeard and me today. We are truly grateful.  You still have nearly two days to submit an entry at Art Journal Journey sharing your own interpretation of Botanicals.  

I also want to thank Halle for all the wonderful art she has given us and all the lovely comments she has left everyone, even in the face of nearly losing her blog.  Thank you, dear friend.
