Hapa zome leaf printing

Hammer-printing: fold flowers and leaves into cloth and tap — the pigments transfer as perfect prints. Loud, energetic, and the results look gallery-worthy.

How it goes

1. Collect fresh, colourful leaves and fallen petals (the juicier the better).
2. Arrange on one half of a cloth square; fold the other half over.
3. Tap firmly all over with a mallet on a log round — listen for the change in sound.
4. Unfold the reveal. Frame the best on a stick frame (see square-lashed frames!).
