100 Days of Leaf Art - Week 6
Week 6: The Beauty of Layering and Depth
Layering different elements brings
richness to leaf art. By adding a variety of resources, stitches, and fabric, enables you create
depth and complexity in each piece.
Working in layers is a
key element of my process. Sometimes I collage
multiple leaves together, blending together textures and colors.
Creative Tip: Mix techniques—try stitching over burned or painted designs or layering multiple leaves together. Don’t be afraid to add new
elements if a piece feels unfinished - such as fabric.
Encouragement: Creating in layers - keep adding,
experimenting, and discovering. Every piece has the potential to evolve into
something even more beautiful.
Explore techniques in
my course: Leaf Arts -
Transforming Nature into Art.
