Leafing Large!

Odile Gova of Ontario, Canada creates unique, one of a kind, hand casted sculptures. These leaves are just beautiful! And check this out.... they are concrete! I tried my own version using a giant rhubarb leaf this last weekend. Once cured I painted it and wah lah! My own leaf! Of course, mine is not nearly as scruptious as Odile's. She has the process down pat, even sharing tutorials on her Flickr Site.

Thank you Odile for the inspiration!

Meanwhile...
This is how my leaf turned out... seeing it up close next to Odile's inspiration leaf, I think I need more shading.... back to the pallette! (249)
