Apple Printing

We tried printing with apples last year as part of our fruit and vegetable printing project for Art Playgroup, but this fall (last month actually…I’ve been slow posting this), I wanted to focus solely on apples.  In particular, I wanted to try to get that elusive little star shape in the middle of apples that we didn’t see last year.  The star shows up when you cut the apple horizontally, and we had the best luck with Red Delicious apples for this project.

I’d love to create t-shirts or a tote bag with some apple prints like this next year.  Time to move on to some Thanksgiving and Christmas crafts!
