Joining the leaves in the top of this human form vase are some magnolia macrophylla cones. Unfortunately, the bright pink seeds were all gone by the time I found them on the ground.

Such a fun vase and the liquidamber makes an impressive headdress. You did right to rescue it and bring it home - the leaves are stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful color on those leaves, and found just lying on the ground. My admiration of your scrounging talent grows and grows.
ReplyDeleteYou are so imaginative with your arrangments...love the seed heads and those lovely red leaves.
ReplyDeleteReuse, Reduce, Recycle, and now also Rescue and Repurpose. I love how you find new use for discarded plant matter.
ReplyDeleteOh what a good use of those gorgeous leaves, Peter!
ReplyDelete"scrounging talent"...I love Alison's phrase. Scrounge away Peter!
ReplyDeleteI love how you make vases from these wonderful finds. I adore these leaves.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats the red of autumn leaves. The display is positively vibrating with color.
ReplyDeleteNice rescue Peter! Red leaves are always my favorite among autumn colors.
ReplyDeleteThe little guy's head is exploding with autumn color.
ReplyDeleteNow that's fall color! A neighbor has a few liquidambers but they never develop that depth of color.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the hairdo! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, great idea to bring those branches home. Very tastefully done--and in a cute vase!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colours. I wish they lasted longer.
ReplyDeleteAren't those leaves a gorgeous colour! I do love Amber trees, especially in autumn.
