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.

What a beautiful and creative picture Keith. Interesting to read where the inspiration came from, that's clever! In mono and on white card, it is perfect! I have never seen a star hole punch, but I expect my granddaughter has one in her many craft kits!

A superb shot! Have a good weekend Keith.

I'm pleased you think so Rosa...............I've been meaning to take this for a while now but have only just got around to it. We have acquired half a dozen different shaped punches but the stars were the only ones that fitted on the leaf. Thank for stopping by and commenting as always.

Ha, ha..........my wife thinks that a kindergarten is where I belong sometimes. In fact I worked with sailors for many years, which is pretty much the same thing as working with children ;-)))

Glad you like the photo Tanja.........much appreciated.

Oooh what a great idea Keith. I realIy love the effect of the hole punch on this leaf. I have similar ideas when I've noticed something meant for something else, that gives me ideas for designs for my jewellry. I found out that small things used for adding to false nails, are just the right size for my shapes.

Keith Burton club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
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.

Star shaped hole punch, that's fun! It must have been fiddly work, I'd probably have ruined many a leaf;-) You did really well and the photo looks just great, showing even the smallest detail perfectly.

Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
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.
