On one of those rare quiet moments before Christmas I pulled down some of those lovely coffee table books and found inspiration, if not for an incisive moment of environmental art, at least for some fun with the kids in the garden.
So out we went and created…
The centre ring is the Horse Chestnut directly fallen, then the yellow from the bush next door, then red from our neighbours garden and finally Apple leaves from further up the garden.
This turned out to be great entertainment for all: selecting, filtering and gathering leaves; filling and emptying the wheelbarrow; spreading and organising. The small fella in particular was a great help…
However the whole esthetic was a bit lost one him…
Alas, environmental art is temporal and we now just have a pile of dead leaves at the bottom of the garden…
