crunchy leaves
Working with my fragile leaves yesterday made me realize that I have been showing off flat, preserved leaves. I have a table full of leaves that I have picked up in parks, park strips, parking lots or from my yard. Some were flattened under heavy books and the others left to dry naturally. The flattened leaves are easier to cut and shape but the others are fragile and crumble. I wanted to show off the curled dry leaves today, nature has shaped them beautifully and there was no need to manipulate them further.
Can you see the dog and dog walker in the background?
