Looked around a bit and it really seems this simple:
Get a big healthy leaf.
Make a high contrast transparency.
Mash it between two plates of glass.
Bake in full sunlight until done.
If it’s a keeper, sink it in resin. (Pretty tricky with light materials!)
I’m sure there are many, many tweaks to get output this fine, but the production seems simple enough to get started. Going to try this! Just got 50 sheets of laser transparency paper for $10.
Chlorophyll printing is an alternative photographic process where photographic images are developed on natural leaves through the action of photosynthesis. This organic technique does not use chemicals since the photographs are exposed directly to the sunlight on plants or trees leaves.
This looks amazing, but what is the context or an explanation?
