Who knew messy could be so fun?

This was fun!
For today’s prompt, botanical, I gathered plants on my walk this morning, coated them with printing ink and pressed them between two index cards. I love the results!

It’s hard to decide which one I like best.

As usual, I jumped in without looking at a tutorial. It probably would have been better if I pressed them in a book for a few hours before inking. I will try that next time. And there will be a next time. It is totally worth the effort and messy hands. Soap & water cleanup.

I used Speedball block printing ink, a soft brayer, and ceramic cutting board.
