Seeds, Pods and Seedheads

I thought about all of the seeds and seed pods that I like, from milkweed, which attracts and feeds monarch butterflies to hedge apples, the ugly, green, brainy looking balls. I just couldn't figure out what to do with them. Then, I was sitting by one of the lakes in our neighborhood, admiring the cattails and realized that cattails are actually seed pods, too. So, here's my tag. I painted the background,  and then drew and cut out the dark brown background cattails. To make the cattails in the foreground, I cut cattails out of a rusty brown suede paper and glued then to thin sticks from a tree. I made them pop out by mounting them with a couple of layers of thick double stick tape. I finished by mounting the tag on burlap. No special techniques, but I like the tag!
