when piper goes for a walk without me - she brings back gifts in the form of leaves and little rocks. I have a pile of leaves and one day while sitting at my work table I decided to cut it up to create my own shape. I showed it to piper and she loved it - she carried it around in the shop, but the leaf was brittle and it all crumpled and disappeared - the only memory of it - is in the form of this photograph. it's getting chilly here - feeling like winter is around the corner. a week from today nikole and I will be heading to rochester, new york for the second storie indie market - a wonderful group of makers. more info here. don't forget that next week will be a week of giveaways - I will fill you in on the details later.
enjoy a weekend of relaxation it will be crazy busy here at the bookhou studio so relax for me big hugs xx

  10. Lovely on so many levels. When I looked at the photo before I read the text, I completely accepted it as a natural leaf, albeit with an unusual stem. Then when I read that you cut it, my immediate thought was ingenious!
