Shadow Prints 



Shadow prints are made by holding a leaf or a flower between a lighted 

 candle and a piece of paper. If held in the right position, the light will cast 

 a shadow of the plant on the- paper which can easily be traced around with 

 a pencil. You now have a pattern of the plant. Cut around the outline and 

 mount on paper of another color. If you are making a print of a flower, 

 you may use two colors of paper, one for the flower, and green for the leaves. 

 If you do this, make your first sketch on plain paper, then use it as a 

 pattern.
