Wych Elm Leaf Spiral
It was a strange day today, in the way I was feeling. I have been full of enthusiasm for doing land art all week, with Escher's land art enthusiams going into overdrive it made for us both wanting to get out there!
It was a long day at work yesterday, so this morning waking up at 5am through no choice of my own did not put me in a great frame of mind. But I had decided to do some land art no matter what and sometimes just being out there and searching for whatever I intend to use puts you in a better frame of mind. But after three cups of tea and a wander around I found it difficult to muster the energy. After what was about 5 hours I eventually got round to making this little leaf spiral. It is so difficult when you can't seem to get the artistic juices flowing and now while sat at home I can think of lots of things to create! Ho hum!!
Though the artistic flow was eluding me it was a lovely day and the huge amount of insects that came to see me was amazing, blue beetles, spiders (eek) woodlice etc, but the most exciting was a tiny tiny frog, smaller than a currant, I found him while on my knees looking for Ash tree seeds!
