Foraging Your Backyard & Experimenting
This online 5-Day Adventure is only $20!
Put on your scavenger hat and pick plant elements you readily have available in your yard to stain paper!
We’ll layer those plant elements on paper you already have and stack them up to boil.
By experimenting with easily accessible resources, you’ll get an introduction to the medium of Plant-Staining Paper.
I have spent over 18 years creating and developing my Plant-Stained Paper technique.
This online 5 Day Art Adventure takes you back to my early years showing you how I first experimented with different plant elements and paper to discover which ones had potential to make beautiful stains.

Exploring Plant-Stained Paper:
Is there a supply list and recommended plants to use?
There is a list of minimal supplies that is available after registration. This list does not include the plants I use because the purpose of this class is to use the plants you have readily available around you. The list of plants I use will be given in Day 2 when we layout and stack our papers.
Is it okay to use a pot that I use for food?
No, you will need to have a dedicated pot for use with this technique. It is not safe to use a pot that you have boiled plants in for cooking food. I use a basic aluminum pot and a link to the ones I use is included on the supply list you have access to immediately after registration.
Will these be like the Rachelle Eason Plant-Stained Paper shown in your collection?
The short answer... No. The results from this class are like the results I got in my early study of Plant-Stained Paper technique. It took years of experimentation to evolve to my current style. This 5 Day Challenge leads you through those early investigative steps so that you can begin to develop your own style.
If you would like to jump straight to learning my current technique that I developed over years of study, you can take my Plant-Stained Paper: The Grand Course online or at an in-person retreat.
The art of Rachelle Eason is an invitation to explore the wonders of nature. Her creations are a kaleidoscope of color and texture that will enhance your appreciation of the natural world. We and our guests enjoy the work of Rachelle in our home.

For several years I have been enjoying Rachelle’s special art! Her reuse of flowers and plants in her work gives it a fresh natural aspect and is also eco-friendly. From the varied stains in the pages, to the imaginative front covers, to the colorful threads used to bind the spines, you can easily see she puts her heart into her work. Meeting Rachelle and obtaining some of her art has brought me much happiness and tranquility.
-Gayle Forry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you desire the freshness of nature, but require that beauty to have longer life span than that of a fresh flower - Rachelle Eason journals are the perfect blend. The most amazing flowers are magically transformed on to paper so that they can remain in your life or on your walls or desk. They transform paper into soothing piece of art that will pull you in.
-Marie Crofoot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first time I saw a Rachelle Eason plant-stained journal I was moved in a way that I can't explain. Their beauty touched me like no other art has. Since my first encounter with them I have purchased at least a dozen, and plan on purchasing many more. Every time I can't decide what to give someone as a gift and I want to make it extra special, I give a Rachelle Eason plant-stained journal. It's the perfect, hand-made gift of art. One of my friends burst into tears at the beauty of her journal.
