Project 7: Botanical Printing: Botanical Rubbing



Well unfortunately most of the pictures I took for this entry were mysteriously missing from my camera when I went to upload them onto the computer so I apologize but this picture is all I have for the Botanical Rubbing craft. At Ms. Stewart's suggestion I made wrapping paper by doing leaf rubbings on tissue paper. It reminded me of my childhood as I did these rubbings with my mother and in art class. The wrapping paper turned out well but since it was tissue paper it was see through so when I went to wrap this gift I threw a darker blue tissue paper underneath. Its unfortunate that you will not be able to clearly see what the wrapping paper looks like because the other pictures are missing. (Although mom, and sister will be able to see it up close and in person as it is on its way to the birthday boy!)

I enjoyed the botanicals but I am very ready to move on (appropriate as we move into fall).

  1. lol I just read this today on Birthday Boys Birthday! I will let you know what I think when it arrives! I know it will be great. You are missing some details though. What did you use to do the rubbing? A crayon? I like it when you tell the process then I could do it if i wanted. Which I do but I enjoy seeing you do it just as much!
