Scanning in found leaf

As I was walking to university I found this lovely looking leaf and picked it up for my field project. I had a previously successful process where I scanned my found objects in and the outcome it printed out was a happy accident. I thought I could recreate this so I scanned this leaf in and printed it out and here were the outcomes.

All of the black ink ran out and left me with just a sea of green and white. I loved how the printed picked out a few of the leaves veins and left them white. I then decided to use my word pressed words I made in the workshops and I scanned them in to make a mixed media piece which I then brought them all together with digital machine. I played around with layout and here are the results.
