This image was a request by my son! I was THRILLED!  His pet name for his love is Goose and she calls him Turtle. 
 
White leaves are hard to come by so I used birch bark for the neck of Ms. Goose with quince leaves for chest and wings. Mr. Turtle is a mix of a bunch of different leaves. Moss, vetch, fern, artemisia, prayer plant, coleus, fennel were used. Red flowers are astilbe. 
 
Friends or lovers, there is a closeness between these two...love the goose footprints in the sand...
 
As leaves are biodegradable and will fade and deteriorate quickly, original Art is scanned immediately after creation, preserving their beauty long after originals are gone.   Enjoy!
