Not an artistic bone in my…
What can I do with all these pretty leaves?
I often have good ideas, but am totally incapable of carrying them out. The other day I saw a wonderful leaf photo of Ganesh. I wish I could remember whose blog it was on, and I could show it to you. The leaves were mostly green, but I got to thinking that with all the fabulous Autumn colours still about, I ought to be able to produce something a bit special.
Nothing too ambitious, you understand. I know my limits! A dog, a cat, maybe, if I tried really hard, an elephant with a howdah on it’s back? I could picture them perfectly. So after much effort, what did I produce?
Not exactly a floppy-eared puppy dog!
A cat? This is more like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh.
And the elephant? What a disappointment! An anteater maybe…
Not going to be framed any time soon, are they? I’ll roll them up and put them away. Well, at least I may have given you a Saturday smile.
If by any chance you’re reading this and have recently posted “Autumn Leaves”, or the Ganesh photo, please give me a shout, with the link, and I’ll be glad to include it here, to show what real artistry is.
As usual, many thanks to Cate for hosting Six word Saturday. The link or the header will take you to her Show My Face blog and all will be explained.

I think I might have an artistic soul, Barb- it’s just the fingers that don’t cooperate.

Thanks Mr. B! Another of those pleasures your son might enjoy, though he probably prefers to run wild in the leaves and kick them high into the sky.

Haha, these are GREAT, Jo! My favorite is the elephan – he looks like a little runt elephant! 😉

Yeah, he definitely needed stuffing with a few more leaves, Tahira, but I was disheartened by then!

Thanks Tonya. I’m an Eeyore fan myself but that was just a step too far. Come to think of it, Pooh bear might not have been too difficult? Next Autumn, maybe!
