A Fall Fairy Frock

A fun thing I like to do from time to time is to make wee fairy dresses out of leaves and other plant material.  They exist ultimately only as a photograph since they shrivel up in time.  I just do it for the enjoyment and challenge of it.  The great, British environmental artist, Andy Goldsworthy, has taken this sort of temporary art to its highest level and I love his transient art, his, or as he says, “ephemeral collaboration with nature”.  I've seen his work in Scotland.  There is a permanent piece in the botanical gardens in Edinburgh.  Here's a short video of him and his art.  Now, go out and make some temporary art!  Don't forget to photograph it!  An Andy Goldsworthy unofficial challenge!
