Drawing of leaf into a Thermofax Screen

I see a lot of leaves on my daily walks, so naturally they are feeding my #SEEdrawPrint challenge. Sometimes I pick them up and trace them, study their edges and shapes.

It is fun to pause and really look that the edges, veins and imperfections. This one is printed in a muddy red color to mimic the fading colors of fall here in New England.

Small thermofax images are nice for creating detailed overall patterns. I may add another leaf to this print to fill the open white space of the cloth.
