if quality paper is made of cotton pulp and trusted trees, and while trees breathe through their leaves; if you find yourself leafing through books and magazines and other leaflets on a somewhat daily basis, ...  can i have the wordy leaf count for this week's challenge then? ☻ 
miss herzfrisch shows us what a leaf can do...

    Loved this! Quite creative and the English teacher in me loves and agrees with the message.
    I wandered into the others' blogs on leaves and ended up spening quite a bit of time exploring one I found through a back door. Asounding still to me, what all is out there and how creative many women manage to me while handling jobs, homes, and families.
    Made me long for my own creative spot too.

    Nadine I cannot express how the roaring fire appeals. It is one of life's pleasures I think; never mind the ritural/symbolic/idea/ under it. I've got my marshmallows lined up waiting for their turn under the flame (in my imagination that is!) Your graphic drawing is so clever. It opens where the journal book itself opens. And the checkered binding is exactly like a binding is and is kind of a mirror reflection of where the binding is. Oh forgive me I can't multi-task like I once was able to; right now while I'm talking to you, I'm listening to a comedy on BBC4 on a live stream. Those Brits are nuts. Funny nuts. How is it that a whole populace can be so utterly ridiculously funny? Anyway, I love this drawing. Your art journal is filling with a bevy of unique and interesting images. Awesome. Hugs, Norma, x

    You and I do think alike...I too was thinking books but I love your incarnation so much more than the idea that I had. This is a wonderful illustration Nads when are these going to make it out of your journals and into some other form? Have a fabulouso weekend my friend

    Hi Nadine, I've missed you and your clever posts of beauty!
    A roaring fire sounds so much better than the forced air furnace we had to turn on today.
    Happy week to you, my friend. xo Carole

    I never thought of the combination of leave and leafs. I German we have the same word for leafs and sheets, what let me see your wonderful drawing in another way.
    Thank you for participating
