Pressed Fall Leaf

Do you love the colors of autumn?  It's a great season to collect Fall colored leaves.  Press the leaves between sheets of paper then place a heavy book on top of the paper.  Let the leaves dry for one week.  Store the dried leaves in a box away from the sun to keep the colors from fading.

Art Supplies

Do you have favorite art supplies that you love to create with?  I like to use a mixture of colored pencils, lead pencils, & ink.  They are easy to work with & no mess!  I also like to use watercolor pencils since they are easy to draw with.  I use a little water & a small paintbrush to brush over the watercolor drawings.

Dragonfly Rose Petal

I often press flower petals & leaves to use for my artwork.  I drew a dragonfly on this rose petal.  It's a delicate process to draw gently on the petal.
