Art Leaves

Autumn...

that time of year when I long to live somewhere with colorful leaves. 

Since I can't make that move right now, I'll have to settle for making my own leaves. 

I created my leaves with a mixture of paint, paper, and fabric. 

I love to paint on fabric.

This project was small enough that I was able to just use scraps I had on hand.

In fact, some of the texture you see here is from coffee dyed dryer sheets.  

If I didn't like the brightness of the paint or fabric I just applied part of the dryer sheet to tone it down.

Then, stitching randomly to add interest.

...and finally, some copper wire to hang my leaves.

I love how my Art Leaves turned out.  

I might even consider putting them into my new Etsy Shop, but I'm still trying to figure all that out. 

I'm joining my friends again at
