Too cold out there!

With the weather getting rather bleak I've retreated indoors to play with various bits of vegetation found indoors.
                   

   These three are made from pumpkin seeds and coloured with food dye

This delicate construction is made from dried swede peelings! I simply glued them together.The subtle shapes and tones are all their own work!






These fig leaves have turned the most sinister colour. 
I have about 20 of them, coated with PVA.
 Not sure where I'm going with these.

The beginning of winter

This  is an update on my previous post about  structures in the garden over winter.
Alas one of my autumn constructions has already collapsed.
 But this wooden spider and web should survive the winter It's made from branches  of the old cotoneaster that I'm pruning.
Likewise this form.

But this form is made from the case for a bottle of Glenfiddich! Just right for facing the winter ahead.


 This small monster is made from a combination of dahlia flowers and cardboard boxes. I'm not sure how long he will survive.
