Here are some reviews I have received
''I have purchased many tutorials over the years for botanical printing (among other things). I wanted to thank you and let you know that The Beautiful Leaf surpasses all with your proven knowledge and techniques. I haven’t finished reading it all yet - devouring the information I’ve read so far and have already increased my understanding/knowledge and I thank you for all the effort put into it!''

What is in the guide?
Please see the contents page to understand the breadth of information in the guide. The first section will take you through the general principles, elements, science, and variables that need to be considered to achieve beautiful results in eco-printing. I will show you precisely how I approach the use of water and iron and the preparation of the botanical print to give you consistent and predictable results. Once you have mastered these processes, it leaves you free to embrace many of the other variables in botanical printing and unleash your creativity.
The second section of the guide shows you how to explore the printing potential of your botanicals. Detailed instructions are given on how to profile your vegetation. I also show you some of my experiments that I do to optimise my methods.
The third section of the guide has step-by-step walk-throughs of three different methods, ‘Pretty Simple’, ‘Midnight Velvet’, and ‘Sunshine and Forest'.
Is this guide right for me?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this guide will empower you to achieve consistent results. If you like my work on Instagram and want to achieve similar results, then this guide is right for you. It is important that you appreciate that you will be required to record, measure, and weigh your textiles and chemicals. I will describe amounts in percentages and use the metric system, and I do not give instructions in teaspoons. So make sure you will be happy using this approach before purchase. Digital downloads are not refundable, so if you are not sure whether this guide will be suitable for you, please contact me through the website or my Instagram account for more information. I am happy to discuss. I will be offering some bursaries to enable greater accessibility of the guide. These will be offered in proportion to the number of guides sold. Please contact me for more details.
