leaf rubbings
Crayon over foliage
Leaf rubbings are images made by placing paper over a leaf and rubbing with crayon or pencil to transfer its texture and shape.
The technique captures veins, edges, and surface details.
A common children's craft and nature activity: We made leaf rubbings of all the trees in the backyard.
