One Touch of Nature Fabric book

I had a ball creating my nature book this past weekend. I printed some leaves on pages - direct printing and some monotypes. I used some of my previously hand dyed fabrics. I also had a grand time looking up quotes about leaves and about nature to add to the pages. I printed the sayings on transfer paper and ironed them in place. Sure have to remember not to get the hot iron anywhere near the transfers. I included some of the pages - 24 pages altogether.

I entered this book and my Leaf Reflections in the Island Art Association's Nouveau Art Exhibit - "Nature's Notebook" is the theme. I forgot to mention that I was awarded an Honorable Mention for "Silent Charlie" in the last Nouveau Art show. I am honored to be honored!!!!!!
