Weaving Across the Surface: Day 3 Exploring Sea Grape Leaf Art

 


Day 3: Weaving Across the Surface

Combining fibers and dried leaves brings a whole new dimension to mixed media art. In today’s designs, I’ve used weaving techniques to add layers of texture and depth.  It is quite a meditative act, weaving on a material so delicate - you are forced to slow down and take it all in as you work.



The result that you can achieve are gorgeous, it is amazing to think that you can fuse nature and fiber art in this way. With the varieties of yarn and threads, the possibilities and combinations are endless.

In tomorrow’s post, I’ll introduce woodburning as a way to carve delicate patterns onto leaves, and share some of my designs.

Crochet on Leaves - Day 2 Exploring Sea Grape Leaf Art

 


Day 2: Crochet on Leaves

Crochet isn’t just for fabric - it can beautifully frame and enhance natural surfaces. Today’s piece features crochet work on the sea grape leaves, giving a lace-like effect on the leaves. 


This technique adds strength while keeping the organic elegance of the leaf intact. By adding different color yarn and fibers you can create different looks.  I also use the crochet to join leaves together.



Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing examples of my weaving on leaves!

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for my creative practice, and working with sea grape leaves allows me to blend mixed media techniques with the organic beauty of the natural world. In this piece, I combine fiber arts and wood burning to highlight the rich textures and colors of dried leaves, transforming them into a unique canvas for artistic expression.
