As the summer wears on and flowers bloom and fade, we are finding botanical options everywhere. Here are some additional prints that members have come up with since we met at the OSU Botanic Garden for our June meeting of the Oklahoma Book Arts Group. Note the creative use of blueberries (fresh and frozen), the delicious colors and the delicate leaves.
