i have a dream. someday i am going to combine my quasi-professional love of nature and her colors with my very amateur love of painting, and i am going to crush every colored leaf and flower i can find, in order to make an infinitely nuanced rainbow of tints out of them. then i’m going to paint some canvases that will consistently fail to be as beautiful as the leaves and flowers they are made of. wait, this dream isn’t turning out the way i’d hoped.

Well, you could combine the actual bits with acrylic medium and using a spatula or palette knife spread your designs. If you have very liquid acrylic you can pour the design. I am sure you have thought of
this already. Have fun
