Queen Anne’s Lace monoprint

Today, for day 27 of the #SEEdrawprint challenge, I picked up some dried Queen Anne’s lace on my walk and did a wax rubbing monoprint.

These flowers were quite dried and brittle. I tried to flatten the branches to separate them and make an interesting print.

I used a wide black crayon to make the monoprint on rice paper. I like the quick and experimental nature of this process. Again I am realizing that I like to skip the “draw” part of the process and find ways to print without having to draw to make prints.
