Capturing the Color Change

The first crunch-crunch-crunch of fallen autumn leaves under my feet on the way home tonight inspired me to do a little Etsy searchin' for fall finds. And hoo boy, look what I found: a pressed leaf series from Conan Guy Carpenter.

I totally dig the idea of highlighting where each leaf was found. The crayon handwriting and black masking tape used for the street locations have a simple, everyday charm. And could it be more obvious that this artist lives in Chelsea?

I love this! I think this is such a great idea. There are so many leaves here in Prague at every corner that I'm always tempted to pick up a handful but with no idea what to do with them. I LIKE THIS!
Thanks for sharing :-D

this is a great idea. for the past two years, my son always brings me in leaves like they are great gifts. i don't like to part with them, but eventually, they get all...well, you know... and i have to. maybe i can try this the next time he says, "look mommy, a leaf for you!"
