Leaf Bird

 

      

 

To create this I used two different type of leaves, the species I am not sure, pine needles and a berry. I took three leaves sewing it together with pine needles. I then hung it with a string. I was inspired by the changing season with the leaves falling, and the birds migrating. The leaves that fall ultimately decompose over time returning back to earth. Meanwhile birds migrate south during fall to avoid the cold winter weather. I created a bird out of the leaves to represent flight and life. I purposefully used the green leaves so it was still living, and the red berry to create a "Heart". These leaves tell a story of survival and death.

Hour 1

The leaves are still green.

 

Hour 2

Over all it still looks the same, the picture was taken from a different angle.

 

 

Hour 3

 

The leaves started to shrivel, one of the wing came off.
