My first experience of a 'proper' autumn had me excitedly scrabbling for pinecones and acorns. The latter, unfortunately was difficult to come by, but acorn tops were in abundance, and I gathered those in large quantities.
Once I had them, however, I was at a loss as to what to do with them. And then, inspired by a shell hanging seen at a friend's place, I had my vision.
Potpourri collected from a friend's house provided some colour against the brown objects of nature.
The process was longer and more tedious than I had imagined it to be when I first undertook the project, and the unfinished empty squares lay on my carpet for a while.
Finally, after finishing my art culminating, I pulled it together and painstakingly tied each piece to the hanging.
And the final effect is something very Canadian, as someone put it.
