  1. the concrete acts as a mordant as well as the substrate for dye attachment. magic.
    you could lay a cloth on concrete in the rainy season, heap it with leaves [so there's weight as well as leaf material] and leave Mother Nature to play...
    someone i once knew did something similar and left a stretched canvas under a tree...but primed the canvas with tar first so somehow the leaves lifted the tar from the surface and made a negative image...
