Greeting card: Laser print cards using 100# matte paper with envelope included
When I was young, I spent countless hours up in a favorite maple tree, collecting handfuls of these tiny pods and releasing them to the ground. I never tired of their whirling journey as they spiraled downward to the welcoming grass below. I enjoyed photographing the fresh, tender seeds in shades of pink and green that remain for only a few days before beginning to dry and lighten in preparation for flight. Enlarging them to 18 inches was great fun, as there is joy in holding a maple seed as large as a turkey platter! How I would love to have released them, perched from a high branch… Carving the ridges and valleys of the maple seeds through layer after layer of fused encaustic medium breathed life back into these photographed seeds. Seeing them larger than life serves as a powerful reminder of our ability to propel forward, carrying the great potential that awaits inside us all.
