Cut & Torn Leaf (approx. 6" x 8"). I figured I should make a green leaf skull before Autumn officially starts down here. Anyone know what plant this is from?
p.s. the secret code for today was cagruhw - i'm pronoucing it (Kay-Grew)... i think it's some sort of mythological beast from the Deep South - a cajun werewolf perhaps (a la loup garou)
Haha I showed your site to my mom and she made a list of ideas for you, leaves being one. And, pardon me, my memory stinks, if I've mentioned this before, howzabout out of a pile of leaves? Bugs doing your dishes? You are a visionary, my good man!!!
I would have thought, it's a linden leaf. If it's one, you would have seen seed like this: http://www.mntca.org/Reference_manual/Tree_info/Images/Tilia/tilia-cordata-greenspire-trunk-9-7.jpg
I like your skulls. It's great to see the techniques, I also used to learn in school in Switzerland.
Geez, she'll get a kick outta me giving these ideas to ya. Bird seed. Mosaic tiles. Olives... I dunno how that would work, but if anyone can figure out a way, it's you. Rice you've done, flowers too... Pasta yet? Kraft cheese (I'm seeing a theme here...) sliced carrots. Nuts/bolts/screws/nails. And beads. Her cooking isn't as bad as you'd imagine from this...

That looks like a poplar leaf.
ReplyDeleteYou should put the bugs to work for you, like David Lynch does. :)
Thanks Patti! If only I had the patience to wait for the bugs to do my work for me! I'd make them do the dishes too.
ReplyDeletei thought it might be a hydrangea (sp?)

ReplyDeleteI definitely want to do a pile of leaves, but need to wait til they start falling here! So where's the rest of your mom's list?!?
ReplyDeleteMy guess was Birch.
ReplyDeletePoplar.
ReplyDeletemy guess is hydrangea too!
ReplyDeletelove the nature skulls!!
j
Bradford Pear?
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree, in the fall make a large skull with autumn colored leaves!!! That would be a "Beautiful Skull"!
this is so cool! i wish id thought of it. i would most likely do it when ever i get bored! (except in winter for known reasons)
ReplyDeleteIt is a poplar leaf---and popular too.

It's a linden leaf, Tilia cordata. I did a study with Japanese beetles on linden. The beetles "skeletonize" the leaves when they feed.
ReplyDeleteI believe linden is in the poplar family, though.
Thanks everyone, I guess I'll have to take a picture of the tree it came from and then we can get final official confirmation.

ReplyDeleteHey, your Flickr links for Skull-A-Day are good!
ReplyDeleteThanks MM, tell your mom I'll definitely consider those!
ReplyDeleteAh, good. :) I'm sure she'll keep thinking of more throughout the year. ;)
