Nature printing and calligraphy
Recently 15 members and friends of the Colleagues of Calligraphy http://www.colleaguesofcalligraphy.com/ learned to print blossoms and delicate specimens. We printed the top side of pressed bloodroot flowers (that were reinforced with contact paper) by applying oil paints with a cosmetic-sponge dauber.
We also printed sage, Italian parsley, radishes, and hosta leaves on 90-pound dampened Arches Text Wove paper. Everyone seemed to have fun and made some wonderful prints.
Vocabulary word:
Avuncular—kindly, congenial, benevolent
