'Hello Beautiful' Brief: Potato Printing.

I wanted to expand from the leaf/plants idea but wasn't sure where to go with it. I really fancied doing some printing, but was at home and I don't have a lino kit. So, I decided to use potatoes! A little unconventional, but it did the job! I created really simple leaf shapes and tested them out in all different colours.

I even tried two colours, which only very occasionally worked. I actually really liked the shapes and textures they produced, so I kept going with it. I created a found imagery collage, with prints and shoe polish. Then I started printing off the work in grayscale, and printing over the top of that. 

I think this worked really nicely. I loved the pinky peach colour.

I think this looks great in only two colours, the shadows on the back are prints on the other side of the page. I think this works really well and I want to see what else I can do with it.
