Making Art with Weeds | Simple Garden Print Book | Monoprint Concertina | Printing with Nature

Lovely project, I'm going to try something similar. So helpful as always thank you for sharing your ideas with us ❤️

Great idea; I have plenty of weeds to play with. Love the black and white - somehow colour would have made it less appealing.

Awesome! I have eco dyed weeds onto paper…but they are sitting in a pile…might have to make a book too. Thank you for the idea!

Nice!

I really like this printed book Helen.

You could glue some of the prints on book paper over the blobby ones.

You do such beautiful work. Thank you.

Lovely project Helen! I am new to your channel, really enjoyed watching this video.

❤ love this idea so, so much! It’s lovely.

I was scrolling by and was reminded why I make art. For ME. I love all of those !!! So much.
I get hung up on what will sell or what will get approval and forget to do what I LOVE. I’ve been blocked and angry and frustrated for over a year. Need a place to start.
Also a good reminder, to me to plan my paper better. THINK about the finished product!!! All needed, for me. I love your art.

This is great.

Love it!! Thank you. Adelaide Sth Australia.

Absolutely stunning. I 💙 it! Thanks for sharing your work.

Beautifully done, thank you😊

I have tons of weeds. Love your book!

Your book is totally charming, so simple and beautiful x

Really gorgeous

New subbie here. Found your video in my feed. Lovely process inspired me to weed and ink and print. TYFS from afar in the U.S. in Michigan

Love your botanical concertina! Oh, this will inspire me to go weed the garden!

❤❤❤ Lovely.

Lovely, and thanks for showing us how you made it.

I can’t wait to try this with my flowers

From Canada! Thank you for showing your whole process!! I've learned quite a bit from this video.💞

What a lovely idea!

Thank you for sharing such a cool idea. I love this idea and have lots of weeds too!❤

New subbie. Love your style, will be watching more of your pass videos. Your 'weed book' is beautiful.💛💚💛

Thank you !

Love this! Thank you!

I just love this idea. I save all kinds of plant material from my yard too.

Canada again, this is a lovely tutorial of a terrific idea. I like the idea of just a plant in the wrong place and appreciate your demo of trial and error - less is more? I haven't used inks and wonder what will happen using fluid acrylic paint? Your concertina is a perfect vehicle for these botanical prints. Thank you Helen.

J'aime beaucoup! Merci! 🌺

New subscriber:) love this!❤

I quite enjoyed this! Can you tell me what kind of paper your printed on? I haven't ever seen such narrow, long lengths before. Thanks!

Wow I’m going to have a go 😊

I love this project so much. The results are fabulous. You are a great teacher and inspiration, so I can’t wait to give it a go myself. I look forward to watching more of your content. Thank you for sharing your work. ❤ J S from Australia

What a lovely idea! ❤

Oh Helen, so very lovely.

Super cool! Thank you for sharing.

Very pretty. Ilove mono-printing weeds and flowers myself, very satisfying.

Hello Helen, it’s great to meet a like-minded artist, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you. I too use botanicals with the alchemy of my cauldron, open flame and the flora foraged and grown in this place I call home (I live in a meadow in the middle of a forest) I create Wild Art. Although given most have myriad medicinal, edible and creative properties, I don’t consider them weeds just wildflowers. Also love to make inks and pigments. Using one at the moment made of buttercup, dandelion and gorse. It is as warm a colour as the sun itself ☀️

❤ TFS, really lovely!

Good idea to use gloves! I would forget that. My hands aways get inky when I’m gel printing.

I will try this with my gel plate because I can get a thin layer. But I’ll use paint, not ink. I tried ink on the gel plate once and it was a disaster because it was too thin and just poured off!

Very good 👍

Inspiring! Thank you for sharing. (hi from Australia)

I like the printing from blotting with an old page .........it has character

Love that you show your process, I use the figure-it-out as I go along process. Can't to see more of your video's.

Hi Helen! I love your video, never thought to make a concertina with those wonderful plants we call weeds. What kind of paper are you using in that nice long strip?? It turned out beautifully, very wabi sabi and perfectly natural. Thank you so much!
