  • Tools & Supplies:

    • 180 (or more) dried Salal (lemon) leaves [numbers are approx.]
    • Several pieces of large cardboard to pin leaves on
    • Pins
    • Drop Cloth
    • Spray Adhesive
    • 7.5cm white mat
    • 24” x 36” acid free board
    • 61cm x 91cm frame

  1. Press flat fresh Salal (lemon) leaves in a book for 2 weeks or until dried.

  2. Once dried, pin the leaves to the cardboard.

  3. Spray paint 40 leaves Gloss Cobalt Blue, 70 leaves Gloss Pure White and 70 leaves Metallic Pure Gold according to manufacturer’s instructions.

  4. Use spray adhesive on the backside of the leaves a few at a time.

  5. Starting from the bottom of the acid free board, place the upside down leaves in a row. Overlap the colours until your board is filled. Remember, the mat will cover the edges, so it’s okay if the leaves don’t completely cover the board.

     Pattern:

    1 row gold

    1 row cobalt

    1 row white

    1 row gold

    1 row white

  6.  Repeat sequence until the board is filled.

  7. Add a matt and frame.
