Leaf Art

October 30, 2006

I was thinking of cutting up colored leaves and pasting the fragments like pixels. But that’s a lot of work — I’d have to sketch a scene and color code it. I’m back to the drawing board at the moment. I’m not really finding any particularly pretty leaves for that whole-leaf kind of esthetic.

My friend from L.A. kept commenting about how many trees and green were around when she was here in the summer, and I kind of thought she was an alien or something. (I gather there aren’t deciduous trees in L.A., or so she claims). I was imagining we could start a seasonal exchange program — I’ll send her autumn while it’s plentiful here and, I dunno, she can send me palm trees in the dead of winter.
