#003 Leaves and Bookmarks

What started as a project to create a bookmark with tango lyrics turned into quite a larger project.  On the way to tango in Ashland a few weeks ago we stopped in at a lamp store and discovered these lamp shades made of skeletonized and dyed leaves.  We thought that would be a cool thing to try.  Well the other day during a futile attempt to find some morel mushrooms I discovered a whole forest of these skelelenonized leaves.  They are moldy and dirty, but with a little dyeing with food coloring, look pretty neat.  I'll try a lampshade next.

Bookmark Front. I actually had to relearn how to make a friendship bracelet for the tassel. That brought back very old memories.
