Diva Challenge 186- String theory Leaves, leaves leaves!

I love fall so much. It's my favorite season. I love the warmth of summer, the promise of spring (especially after my arctic winters of endless snow) but the color and breathtaking beauty of fall make it my favorite. I love the crispness of the days that alternate with warm days that feel like presents!
I live in NY so.... I associate fall with warm cozy sweaters, new boots, POT ROAST!!!! and new school supplies, freshly sharpened pencils and blank notebooks...
So.. ALL MY FAVORITE THINGS!

Today's Diva Challenge  was leaves.
Ok.

Here's what I came up with and I had so much fun doing this. I used brown, a dark green and red from my heritage color pen set and then coordinating pencils from my inktense set.

Loved it. Might even do more of this one.

    I grew up in the north part of NJ and you just brought back such wonderful memories. It was so beautiful then and so is your tangled leaf! Those colors are just perfect!

    Love the maple leaf. The burgundy is just like the maples in the back yard. Beautiful leaf!

    This is very pretty and striking. I think I didn't grasp the "string" part of the challenge in the one I did. Oh well.

    very lovely maple leaf - so well drawn and tangled. I especially like the curve at the end of each point of the leaf

    Beautiful leaf. I see a lot of leafs, and a lot of colors. It is great to see how every other person, fills the challenge with his thoughts about autumn. Your color combination is great and the go along very well with the choosen patterns.
