Fun in the Sun

Two posts in one day!  I've been wanting to do some more sun printing for a while now but it's been too hot for me to spend too long in the garden then windy then rainy and so on.  It was rather late this afternoon but it was sunny albeit too breezy to contemplating using the pretty leaves that I'd kept aside so some hastily gathered alternatives ..............
 

Rice ..............
 

Spaghetti .................


Buttons ..................


Do I like them?  No, I don't think so.  Conditions weren't ideal and they're a bit on the murky side for me though with a bit more thought and paints that aren't past their best I can see potential with the buttons.  In fact, the rice, for some unknown reason, is shouting rodent droppings and making me feel quite ill right now ............... think it's time for bed and dreams about nice things!!

Some leaves I experimented with earlier ..............

Just goes to show why we need to experiment with these techniques to find what we like, doesn't it!

The leaves are very pretty. I'm glad you finally got the chance to do some sunprinting. I think it's addictive!
