Abstract: A method for producing unique works of art in which plants, flowers and other natural specimens are utilized to create artistic effects. A metal plate is etched or engraved to produce a desired pattern thereon. The plate is selectively inked with one or more colors. The plate is placed in a suitable press and natural specimens are artistically arrayed on the plate. A sheet of soft rag paper is placed over the plate and the natural objects thereon forming a print assembly. The press is operated to place pressure upon the backside of the paper, forcing the paper against the plate and the natural specimens. The ink is transferred from the plate to the paper to form blank areas having the shape of the natural objects. Natural color agents on the natural specimens will be expressed or leached out into the paper surface forming attractive, soft colors in the blank areas.
