Walking my tour the other morning I found ceveral skeleton leaves, on the ground near the beach,and home again, I just had to try using one in a collage.
As it was naturally very fragile, I added it with two coats of Goldens matte medium-that left it soft and non breackable.I formed paper leaves from different papers, and a bird image printet on fabric--I believe the image is from , sweet Dawn whom alwayes generously shares lots of lovely images.
Here you see the leave- so beautiful.
and here the nature and man made leaves together--also added a piece of barck-

Last year I got some wonderfull resin pieces from a dear friend Angie Hopemore Studio
One of them I made this necklace with- using a piece of driftwood from my beach- little flowers,
and 2 buttons from France
I like it is both rustic and romantic ,in one time.
If you don`t know Angie- click on her shop name, and pay her a visit,
she has a wonderfull Etsy shop- and a very beautiful blog.
I love my Tour Eiffel jewelry piece- thankyou for the beautifull resin piece again, Angie.
**************
Already friday tomorrow--again-- well dear friends and followers,- I wish you all a beautiful week-end.
Hugs and love ,Dorthe

Hi Sweet Dorthe,
Your collage has the feel that when you are in tune with what is around you that it all comes together so easily and naturally. What a beautiful blend of that which is God made with that which is man made. Such a harmonious and soft creation so beautifully. As too is your pendant incorporating the driftwood.
It's all gorgeous!
Much love,
Suzy
Lovely collage, beautiful necklace!
Very pretty Dorthe - really, just beautiful! I love the necklace - it's perfect to think of the Eiffel Tower and driftwood together.
And how special to go for your morning jaunt and find pieces that are perfect for your next idea!
It is Friday morning here and the sun is shining brightly and all is right with the world - I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hei igjen Dorthe... Takk for sist! jeg ha så om litt startet med blogg ijen... Efter lang tids sykdom... prøver nå å komme litt inn i denne bloggverdenen igje, men helsen bestemmer:/ Håper du har det godt! Du er bare så flink og kreativ, helt vidunderlig å se rundt om her hos deg!

Dorthe, I love what you did with the Eiffel Tower slide, it's amazing. I get so excited to see how the pieces get used. Thank you for everything!!
Your collage is beautiful, I love the idea of using skeleton leaves, how delicate.
~Angie
Dorthe, this is beautifully textured. That's really the charm of it. Like you, I really like to find the skeleton leaves. I save them whenever I find them. Have you ever seen the ones that are gold plated? I wonder how they do that!
Have a very nice weekend, my friend.
Hugs, Diane
Dear Dorthe,

Oh Dorthe- is this your first necklace? It is gorgeous! So delicate and unique! I know you made it to be worn- but I also think it would be beautiful framed. You have the most wonderful ideas - such creative ways to use the beauties of nature.
Love,

I love the necklace you made with Angie's charm. Everything about it is perfect. She makes beautiful charms and pendants I think.
Your nature collage is so amazing Dorthe ~ a true work of art!
What a wonderful natural piece of art Dorthe, and I love your driftwood necklace too! xx
Your collage should be in a museum! You have an uncanny ability to compose a harmonious wonderfully textured piece from many different elements. This is such a beautiful representation of the natural world. Your work is an inspiration. Terri
