We had loads of these leaves lying about the house, thanks to Junior J's squirrelly habit of always picking up something on our walks and bringing them back home. Some went into the leaf book. However, with autumn and its sea of fluttery golden pavements, they were starting to pile up, and we were in danger of creating some leaf litter communities.
So while we were stuck home over the weekend, I cut out a heart out of cardboard packaging, and Junior J and I pasted them down using oodles of PVA glue. And dried it wedged under the laptop. I love the warm colours and all those textures:
And speaking of textures, I've been wanting to photograph these pumpkins for awhile. The variety of pumpkins here is amazing, and these are sold as an assorted bunch in a basket for 3 bucks!
I especially like this one, for all its strangeness, and have yet to identify it. Anyone knows?
Now I have to think of what to do with all those extra leaves that we still have... any suggestions?
Bookmarks for friends? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Julia for the suggestion! We might just try that, the leaves would make pretty bookmarks! :)
DeleteThe colour of the leaves are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are, aren't they! Its quite spectacular when they are still on the tree!
DeleteNice heart of leaves! Oh yeah, I saw so many varieties of pumpkins and were fascinated too. Those that look most hideous usually turned out yummy! But nope, I never did remember the name of their species. Hehe. Leaf bookmarks will be great for the kids!
ReplyDeleteThanks Summer! And ahhahaha, so funny the way you put it, we'll find out soon when we try those!
