Leaf with Stars

Leaf with Stars
Rubbish weather yesterday, so a little more tabletop photography. A fallen leaf from the garden, a hole-punch and a piece of white card. I think it worked out quite well.

This is a little bigger than life size if you view large, so possibly qualifies as macro, but definitely close up.

I got the idea to use a hole punch when I saw a shop selling "eco-friendly" confetti, which was using a similar method to get the shapes from flower petals and green leaves, but drying them and making confetti from the shapes.

Thank you Jenny. It took a few goes (and a few leaves) before I got the stars where I wanted them, without breaking the leaf.

I nearly always carry a little notebook with me and jot down ideas for photos as my memory is not brilliant.

It was a bit fiddly.........and it took several tries (and leaves) to get it done the way I wanted, but it's fun to do and passes the time when the weather is rubbish.

I'm pleased you liked the end result though Gudrun..........thank you so much.
