Photohunters: Theme Flexible

2007
11.10

This week I am really scraping the barrel for the theme flexible. In the end I decided on the humble grasshopper. I have many of it in my garden. They are very flexible. I am the intruder in their world. They let me be if I don’t get too close. If I get too near, they just hop out of reach. Not too far, just to keep a distance.

They persistently refused to be photographed :) So I had to use these hand made ones. It took about fifteen minutes for this batch. They can last a long time. But the leaves will change to brown after some time.

    Those are very cool grasshoppers. I’m thinking the leaves must be flexible in order to do that as well. Happy Weekend.

  12. You are pretty creative to make your own grasshoppers out of blades of grass. A real original! Great take on the theme this week and have a good weekend.

    The palm leave that you used to make the grasshopper is soooo flexible! My mum used to make bracelets for me out of them when I was young. :)

  23. You did this? Wow, so creative! I’d love to learn how. My son will surely appreciate it if I can make him one. So cool!
