Twisted



I know there has been an overload of dried nature photographs here recently, but can you blame me?
I found this beauty in my garden this morning . If only I could figure out how to preserve this and wear it around my neck.

You need to put it in a deep mold and pour resin over it. wish i knew how to do that :( but i can point u to some tutorials that can tell u what to do!

Hey thanks Kash, but it sounds damn complex. Wish you were here to do it all for me! ;-P
I've just pressed it between the pages of a book and will stick it in my journal later.
I did once paint a twisted leaf with resin though. It lasted a long time. Didn't know what to do with the rest of the tin of resin though.

Priya,

One question - I can see that you read extensively - if I were to ask you to name 10 of your favorite books, which would they be?

Hi Asma,
What an interesting question.
Give me some time and I'll answer it in a blog post.

Hey Priya, this is the most beautiful leaf.. what tree does it come from?
Thanks for asking for sketchbook pages... I'll collect up some photos and plan a post of sketchbook pages in a while for you :)

Hi Rima, it is isn't it? It is from the Taebubia (Pink Trumpet)tree growing in my garden. Here is a pic from google: (http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackdiamondimages/3422952666/lightbox/)
The leaf has been distorted however by whatever was growing on it.
I am REALLY looking forward to your post :-)

aaaaahhhh, it's beatiful!
resin would ruin the effect in my opinion, but would definitely keep the leaf... so it might still be a good idea... ask someone, i'm sure it's not that difficult. :)
