There is one way of making the end of the summer less bitter sweet… It’s autumn leaves season!! Such a cornucopia of vibrant colours and unique elaborate shapes, everyday offers these little ‘ooh!’ moments of discovering these objects of beauty.

We spent most of last autumn painting leaves and I reckon this year will be no different… Here are the first ‘victims’ of the season…

Karuski is the nom de pencil for me, Katherine Mengardon - I am a fan of all things 1960s, CAKES, obscure indie pop bands, children illustrations, bad puns and cats. Any spare time goes towards baking mad cakes, drawing families and catified musicians.

    Did you use dried leaves for the leaf painting? They’re lovely and I’d like to try that with our Senior Center craft classes. And did you use paint or white pens. Any sort of finish?

    I used fresh ones, so they don’t always age well! I think there is a way to treat them first to keep them for longer, but I haven’t done that yet. I normally use posca paint pens – paint will also work well!!
