I know, I know; you're thinking "that's a sun print?" Okay, I admit, it's an unexpected result, but I went about it in the expected way - just used unusual colours.

I didn't want to use the expected green, so thought if I did black, I might end up with some cool, gray leaf shaped resists.

I didn't want to do just boring old green, (and this green is really boring - I had only a tiny bit of turquoise blue left to add to my yellow with this soft blue-green as the result.) 

With the black version, after I added my leaves, the surface I had it sitting on was smaller than the fabric, so I scrunched in the edges on all sides - and for good measure, I squirted some purple and red dye over the whole thing.

When it was done  - it looked solid black - even under the leaves - but when I finished rinsing it out - DELICIOUS!

And when I pulled off the leaves - I got a fairly predictable result on the green, and this gloriously beautiful result on the black.

I realized that my back garden is too shady to do sun prints effectively - I spent the whole day chasing the sun around the parts of the garden that weren't covered by tree branches or the shade of the tree branches so I won't be trying traditional sun prints again.

But I might - because I really love that black version and I'm curious about what else could happen - with or without the addition of leaves - as they don't seem to have made a difference at all.

Hmmmm...
