This new series L'herbier du #10E  was made using herbs from my garden as the template for creating 4 silk acquatint plates, Sauge, Lavande, Feuilles du figuier and Feuilles du citronnier.  

 

Applying the impasted herbs directly on the plate I preserved the delicate veining of the leaves which showed so clearly in each print.  From each plate I made prints changing the inking and colors every pull as is my custom.  

Here I present Sauge in a dark version.
