Leaves 6, 9061, metal leaf abstract by Carol Nelson


Another example of my leaf series. The leaves themselves were cut out of gold embossing metal - I think it's aluminum- that I got at an art supply store. The cool thing is that the metal is gold on one side and silver on the other. The background is highly textured and the whole piece is covered with resin which gives it an "under glass" look.
I'm sorry that these photos just don't show the details very well. If I give it enough light to show the background well, the shiny leaves are overexposed.
For other examples of my leaf series, please see my blog.
These, and many other aspen inspired works will be for sale in my booth this coming 4th of July weekend in Breckenridge, at the 21st annual Breckenridge July Arts Festival.
