Raw leaf number 800 for the fallen leaf project. the flickering aspen leaf

playing with the idea of lichen abstracts in the spirit of the abstract expressionist.

Piles of Clay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Charles White for your generous donation to the project which allowed me to purchase big piles of fresh clay and keep this project rolling forward. 

Fresh cuts. I keep watching the trees waiting for them to bloom with new leaves, cone on already! 

I could not believe the near perfect heart shape this leaf makes. I wonderful symbol for this project. 

I am creating 1537 unique leaf sculptures, each leaf represents one child lost to child abuse each year.
