Students made golden pears by printing with real pears. I was a bit disappointed with the results - I think maybe the knife I used to cut the pears wasn't sharp enough so that the printing surface wasn't smooth. The students didn't mind though! After using the templates and some painted paper to make the partridge, we assembled the wreath, adding in some crepe paper leaves.
These turned out very nicely! As for printing with the pear, I've been told (but have yet to try) that if you cut the fruit, and let it dry for a day or two, you'll get crisper results.
