Brass Framed Leaf Art

I love an easy leaf art project. I am really lucky to still have our lone Ash tree, because it drops the prettiest leaves. My neighborhood looks amazing with every tree at the height of fall color. The leaves are so gorgeous I wanted to make brass framed leaf art.

I had purchased a brass frame last year and had it sitting in a box not really sure  how I was going to use it. I wandered around and gathered a few leaves  from my yard. As I picked each one up and noticed the gorgeous color, I thought it would be nice to really enjoy the color and texture of the leaves, and now I knew I had the perfect way to display the gorgeous leaf colors and my frame together.

Using a little gold paint pens I tried to on one. I wrote the word gather. It seems so appropriate for fall.

Then I picked the two of my favorite leaves and slipped them into the frame after the gold paint dried. After they were in the brass frame, it was so pretty the way the light came through the glass and really popped the leaf’s color. Almost like stained glass. I love how the sunlight really highlights the veining on the leaves too. I think that’s what I love most about fall. Even though I love the gentle green of spring, and the bright color of summer, I really love the deep russet of fall.  It’s almost like flower petals on trees.

I hope you loved this sweet brass framed leaf art project as much as I do. I also have a printable for you as well. You could even frame this for some fall color in your house!
