Leaf book

Here is a book I created inspired by leaves. The binding of the book consists of a piece of split bamboo and the cover is make from leaves.

A collage of different leaves from a magazine and some leaves drawn with graphite and watercolours.

The shape of a leaf and another drawn with pastels.

A drawn sketch of a leaf and I stuck down leaves from the same bush to show how they change colour.

Prints of various leaves.

I cut out sections of leaves to show the positive and negative space.

The back of the book is made from brown leaves to show how the leaves develop and die from being green at the start the they turn brown at the end.
