Red and yellow

Still diving in autumn colors, red strawberry leafs (above, red maple on the right) and yellow glowing maple foliage gathered in a bunch.

Autumn meets winter

Last weekend Advent season started. Actually I felt rather puzzled as I always do in November by the fast pace of time and life. Autumn is fading into Christmas time and this is what this bunch captures. White Amaryllis and delicate blossoms of Australian Christmas shrub represent festive wintery mood while oak foliage still lingers in melancholic farewells to this years flowering season.

I wish you all a less stressed, joyful pre-Christmas period!

Indigo splashes

Some results or so to speak by-products of the leaf shoot. Indigo water colour works very well with autumn leaf shades.

Leaf necklaces

Another motif of my latest autumn photo production: A very simple but effective way of using leafs is to make prints into modeling clay. I love this diy project because it actually emphasises the fragile and delicate structure of leafs.

Autumn Leafs

Although there are only a few leafs left trembling in the bare trees I am working on a leaf story. It is amazing how the last warm autumnal sun beams seam to be captured in the shiny yellow birch leafs. Just a single branch can make us feel less gloomy.  

Go vertical!

For those who do not want to cut and carve: a hanging version of pumpkin decoration.

Curvy Beauties

I was commissioned to create some additional decorative pumpkin ideas - may be you still remember the mixed food and diy pumpkin feature which I have posted a few month ago.

I am happy to see some of these pics in the current issue (number 21) of the BRIGITTE magazine.

Fancy a look inside? Enjoy autumn season.
