I wouldn't let autumn pass by without having a tangible memento of its glory that has been photographically etched in my mind and has bathed my whole being. I gathered leaves from different trees that thrive here, but not all of them, and preserved them between the pages of thick catalogues given away by some big stores. At first, I didn't know what to do with the leaves apart from just keeping them there or making some cards. Later on, I came up with this idea.
This one too, which is entirely made up of maple leaves in different shades.
Now I’m quite satisfied with my simple handiwork which I hang on our wall, a perpetual reminder of the first autumn that I have ever experienced.
Have you spent you previous autumns in the tropics?
ReplyDeleteYou have turned autumn into art, and love;y art at that. Well done.
Yes, I'm from the tropical islands of the Philippines, where I spent all my life before I moved to Sweden just a year ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Arija, for the compliment. I appreciate it so much.
What wonderful work you did on these! Really lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these, and the creativity you've shown. It's such an interesting thing to consider - that you've only known one autumn. You've made me feel rich with the many I've experienced in my life.
