Nature bestows many gifts on us. The bud, the blossom, the leaves in all their wonderful sizes and shapes consume our attention. During a walk last autumn, appreciating the colors of the fallen leaves, my eye came upon a generous collection of horse chestnut seed pods. The texture and shape fascinated me and this sparked a new obsession\u2026 the seedpods that adorn the trees and plants as the summer season fades into fall and then winter. I began to seek out these ornaments of nature and embracing the challenge of how to capture them in fabric. The scroll-like triptych Nature\u2019s Ornaments is a new series that I will continue to explore.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
The trilogy celebrates the seedpods we discover on the trees and shrubs in autumn. The backgrounds represent the fall colors reflecting on a lake in Medford, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
