To start sampling I decided to do some work with some PVA glue. Simply pouring PVA onto a flat, even surface and adding powder and ink has a really nice effect as the glue dries clear and you are left with a colourful thin layer of dried glue. The idea behind this was to sort of - create my own leaves. I used earthy, dull colours and crushed some leaves on to the top.
Once this has dried over night I then used the free machine foot on the sewing machine to work onto them. I started off by doing some simple leaf patterns and then progressed onto working from a photograph I took of the trees in a local park.
