Graceful Ginkgo


 About a month ago I was coming home through a vacant lot and was delighted to find a ginkgo leaf!  When I looked around I saw they were all over and was so excited, as I had previously thought  ginkgo trees only grew in China!!  I loved that little leaf, but it soon withered and died, so I decided to dedicate a wall hanging to it.  It might not look that good in the photo, but it looks great in real life.  It was a challenge, though, being made of faux suede, upholstery fabric, organza and, or course, cotton.  It was the largest piece I've ever done, and I think that will be my last big one!  (Never say never, though, right!)  Anyway, I embellished it with lots of Swarovski crystals and it looks amazing!
