Just like I described in the previous post I placed the fabric on my printing board. Applied the paint with a foam brush, but you can also use a brayer or a foam roller, and press the onion down on the fabric.

For this sample I started with a sunprint which needed a bit more and I used a single celery stalk and black paint:
And this is how it looks when you use the whole celery:
Don't they look like flowers?
They DO look like flowers! I had a dried red onion but that printed great roses! Love these!
