Sneak Peek: Leaf Linocut Print Series

I’ve been making a lot of flower prints lately, which is fine. I like flowers. I’ll have to post some of them soon—I’ve been a bit lax at sharing my newer work on here, though you can always see what I’m up to on my Instagram. Feel free to follow me there @tamarajaegerfineart !

But for a bit of a change, I’m currently planning out a series of leaf prints. All the fantastic colors last fall inspired me! I collected a bunch of neat-looking leaves to use as references and I’m all fired up and ready to get started!

In addition to my standard black ink on white paper, I’m thinking about trying out some colors—maybe green on white paper. I’m also planning on trying out more of a variable color, with yellow, red, and green printed at the same time, which should give a neat effect, with the colors of each individual print being different and unique from the others. I also have some cool-looking colored paper that has an iridescent surface made from shell emulsion that I think would work well. There are so many possibilities!

What color schemes and leaf types would you want to see? Tell me in the comments.
