I first used these Maple images on my glass art, and I loved them so much that when we started printing graphic tees, we decided to put them on shirts too.

The process to get these very detailed images on both glass and fabric was the same. I press-dried real maple leaves and then sandblasted them (very carefully) until all that was left were the delicate veins. I took macro-photos to capture the detail as much as possible, and then digitally edited them to enhance the contrast. From these, I created transparencies that I could expose onto a silk screen to print the image onto the shirt fabric. The Cascading Leaves design is done the very same way.

*Special Note - Our current tees are not manufactured in Canada; however, we are actively transitioning to made-in-Canada tees (stay tuned!). As always, every tee is designed and hand printed  in our Toronto studio on a made-to-order basis. We aim to get tees out the door within 5-10 business days. Thanks in advance for your patience and for choosing hand printed, Canadian craft!
