I first used these Maple images on my glass art, and I loved them so much that when I started printing graphic tees, I decided to put them on shirts too. The process to get these very detailed images on both glass and fabric is the same. I press-dry real maple leaves and then sandblast them (very carefully) so that the veins and patterns from the leaf emerge more clearly. I take macro-photos to capture the detail as much as possible, and then digitally edit them to enhance the contrast. From these, I create transparencies that I can expose onto a silk screen. Then I can print the image onto the shirt fabric. The Cascading Leaves design is done the very same way.
