Flowers from Nature

 

This month it's my turn to lead an art project during our local art guild meeting.  Since November is a month of thanksgiving and bountiful harvest, I decided to do vegetable printing as the activity.

I experimented with shallot sliced in half as the "stamp" to make flowers.  I also rolled corn on the cob in acrylic paint and then rolled it onto the page for a background.  For definition, I added marks with pens and paint markers.  

At Art Journal Journaling, this month's prompt is NATURE so  I'm sharing my vegetable print journal page with them.
