by Laura Bethmann
Even with no artistic training you’ll find yourself able to create remarkably detailed images of flowers, leaves, feathers, shells and other natural objects. Bethmann shows how with complete instructions, photos and illustrations. Make nature prints of your favorite subjects on paper or fabric using inks or paints. Follow methods practiced by Leonardo da Vinci, Ben Franklin and a host of historical characters in this fascinating, updated version of an ancient art and craft technique.
“[Nature printing is] simple and you don’t have to have much in the way of esoteric or expensive materials to make frame-worthy prints, handmade stationery, or gift wrap.” – Newsday
“Bethmann has discovered the real connection between the creative self-expression evident in both gardening and painting, and has recognized how nature printing links them both.” – Manchester Journal Inquirer (CT)
