Since the beginning of time, artists have looked to nature for inspiration. "Natural Impressions" offers a way to cultivate creativity by making prints directly from natural objects. In this innovative book, author and crafter Dahl demonstrates how printing with a natural material allows artists to see and appreciate often-overlooked details and make physical contact with the earth.

Dating back to the 13th century, the print-making technique of ?nature printing? has an illustrious and informative history. The process, which uses the surfaces of natural objects like leaves to make prints of the actual objects, is how early books of medicinal plants were compiled. Through the centuries, nature printing evolved into a scientific process favored by botanists and biologists to reproduce plants and assemble catalogs of flora and fauna. The advent of photography also furthered the developments of how a natural object could be used to make a print.
