Once upon a time I made a bunch of heat set ginkgo leaves. I thought I would do a large piece based off of the original sketch for this attempt and what I came up with here. Ginkgo leaves, circles... with the addition of the 3-D quality I started to think of ripples, leaves gently drifting down onto a pool of water, all very poetical and graceful. This is as far as it got and all I know for sure is its missing something... Shawn suggested color... maybe... all I do know is its missing something. For this picture I took it outside in the sun so the textures (which I still love) would be visible. Right now it is sitting in my studio sulking at me as it has done for months. grrr.

Hi jude thanks for the vote of confidence, I think my problem is I'm being a bit too precious about these bits and pieces. It'll come when its ready or when I get fierce on it :)
I love this method and this design.
I am very facinated of the Gingko tree and its history. Do you kwow it?

Hi elsie
I know very little about gingkos but I understand they have been around since prehistoric times with very little change. What draws me in about them is their form I think they are very beautiful
