Birthday Leaves

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #240: Birthday Leaves!

Spring or autumn, leaves bring colour, life and play to our gardens.
Many tangles are based around nature and I think leaf shapes automatically brings the sense of relaxation.


 
Silver Birches are my favourite trees, I love the shade in summer, the colour in autumn, the sun shining through the branches in winter and the new life in spring.
 
My special spot in our garden

    Oh wow. They're both lovely. Your lines are so clean.
    Your garden looks wonderful too. Wouldn't mind having breakfast there. Or lounging around, enjoying some sun, and tangling. ^-^

    A lovely exploration of Autumn. I love your Renaissance Zendala. I can never get my white to show up like that.

    Lovely spiral design for your first tangle, and the second tile is simply inspiring. I love birch trees too. Sadly, they won't grow here so I thank you for sharing such a pretty sight!

    In addition to liking the spiral piece, I also admire the discipline it must have taken to maintain concentration to do all those lovely little leaves. (I find myself rushing to finish if I'm not too careful.) You have given us both autumn and spring at once with your two very different pieces. Lovely.

    Beautiful composition on the zendala tile with the Renaissance colors. The birch inspired tile is also lovely. I like the touch of turquoise.
