Leaves: “‘Hanji’ is Korean paper, Put it in water, Hanji melts. Take the melted paper to make a leaf shape and dry. This process is one of many kinds of Korean Paper arts, I think this process is very interesting. This paper art is very strong and I like this Hanji’s feeling. I like fishing line’s transparency and stretch character. So, I used fishing line and crochet too. Nature is clean and pure. So, I was think simplify choose transparency material fishing line and put in ‘Hangeul (Korean letter)”

“My entry is a mono print of a Seagrape leaf, hand pressed, on two layers of silk fabric. I used metallic fabric on the top layer (silk organza/sheer) and black acrylic paint on the bottom layer of silk Habotai. I raised the top layer off the bottom layer with black cording I “couched” over the veins lines, then used glass beads to embellish.”
“I chose our Flordia Seagrapes for this project because besides providing food (edible grapes) and shelter for small mammals, it is our first line of defend against erosion being salt, heat and drought tolerant.”
