What is paper mosaic with rose petal tinted paper you ask? Well, of course, the paper mosaic part is clear, but what is rose petal tinted paper? I really couldn't think of any other name for paper that is tinted by coloring with rose petals! How do you color with rose petals? You quite simply drag a small stack of them across the paper while applying pressure in order to transfer their pigment to the paper. And the green squares? Why of course, those were made by "coloring" with rose leaves. I did try some other flowers, but none resulted in the deep color that the red rose leaves on the paper. And the other surprise was, that after I cut my paper into little squares I realized that it actually resembles glass mosaic tile, a fun coincidence.
And so now my friends, I don't know about you, but I will never throw a tired red rose in the garbage until I've transferred it's pigment to some paper! Make sure to "color" with the top side of the petal touching the paper and have fun.
