this week I did a project with 41 kids and 5 teachers in the deCordova summer program, the Hive.  We made a herbarium comprised of prints of all kinds of found objects (leaves, seeds, bottle caps, etc.) from 3 different microhabitats at the deCordova and printed them with Walnut ink I made for the group.  Later in the week we organized the 259 prints into categories and hung them around the Field Station to show everyone the collected portrait…

some of the categories:

Leaves that look like leaves
explosions
Ferns
things from Alice’s garden
Same
looks like Fireworks
scattered and light
