Like Footprints on the Sand

This piece is an original eco print in which leaves and flowers are imprinted onto watercolor paper using mineral salts, heat, and moisture. Unlike footprints on the sand, these imprints will last a lifetime. Eco-printing is a wonderful way to preserve the beauty and intricate details of botanicals.

About Judith Stein
I am a mixed media artist with a home studio in Needham, MA. While I love painting with oils and cold wax medium, recently, I have become intrigued with collage and printing techniques. I thoroughly enjoy printing my own gelli-plate papers and combining them with Japanese papers, photographs, digital images, dried flowers, and text. More recently, I have been exploring eco printing techniques using natural dyes to imprint leaves and flowers onto paper. Creating engaging compositions and balancing shapes, colors, and textures using a variety of techniques is an immensely joyful and rewarding process!
