Spooky forest

A detail showing the use of poppy petals (pressed between two sheets of bondaweb, then covered with tulle and stitched round the edge of the petal). The uncurling ferns are printed with metal type with paint brushed on. I think the lutradur takes the paint in a way appropriate to this theme - it wouldn't work so well in fabric.
And those angled leaves are suitably spooky too...
