Weekend

Today, as I was walking home from my tutoring gig, I noticed the autumn leaves. Well, doesn't every artist? But it was near sundown, and I noticed something new. Everybody talks about how the greens turn to yellows, oranges, and reds, but have you noticed that the leaves also go from basically opaque to translucent? Translucent! Like a burn-out fabric after the burn-out. So now, I have to do a burnout fabric, probably knitting a polyester wound round with cotton, painting the poly in yellows, oranges, and reds,dying the cotton a green that will cover them, and burning out to reveal the under colors, just like happens in the leaves.
