Project number seven: needleflower

needle flower 2 | land art

This project wouldn’t have happened if a certain etsy user called vintology wouldn’t have insisted that i create a new piece of artwork for a relative of hers.  She liked the philosophy behind project water me!!!  -I suggested sending the recent work i did while on leave in kasachstan, but she was having none of it…

Which was, of course, most encouraging.  So i left the house without a clue of what i would do, and this is what i came up with.  It’s the first work i’ve done using pine needles for something other than sewing leaves together.  The first time i did it it was much too cloudy for a good picture, so this is the second attempt, created in a hurry on a cloudy day during a short burst of sunlight.
