Beautiful Decay

Fall may be my favorite time of year. The colors in our neck of the woods are so beautiful. I collect leaves every year at their peak, then discard them back to whence they came when they shrivel.

  I'm so taken with certain flowers in their decline. Thistle and Queen Anne's lace in particular.

 

       Spent some time yesterday making stencils of the images from spent blooms. I have plans for some large fabric vessels with these & other images on the cloth.

Often Mother Nature creates the best compositions on her own.
