こうぞ迷彩（ノート挟み）

紙の原料、楮は、意外にどこにでも生えてくる生命力を感じる灌木だ。

近所でネタ探しをしてるとき、発見。

こうぞの葉は独特の食い込みがいいリズムで、空をバックに撮ってみた。

iPhoneを上向きに枝の下に差し込んで適当にシャッターを切る。
なんかいいの写ったらいいな、って。

葉の出方のリズムがいいね～。
間に太陽も入った。

OHPフィルムと半紙にプリントアウト。半紙はロウを染み込ませて半透明に。
寒冷紗と脱脂綿を使って味付け。寒冷紗はフィルムのきらきらを消し、涼しげに、脱脂綿は光を入れる感じ。

木陰に寝っ転がった気分。

Kozo (Paper Mulberry) tree camouflage
( Sandwitch notebook holders) :

Kozo tree is a shrub that is a raw material of washi paper.

The tree grows everywhere with their strong life force.

I found it in my neighborhood when I was looking for something to take pictures.

The shape of the leaves were ragged and jagged.

I took a picture with the sky behind them.

I placed the Iphone under the branches with the lens facing up towards the sky and took some photos.

I thought that it would be nice if I could get some good shots.

As a result the sun was shining between the branches and the shape of the leaves was also good.

I then Printed the photos out on OHP film and Japanese calligraphy paper.

I sprinkled wax on the paper and melted it with an iron. It made the paper partially translucent.

I seasoned with cheesecloth and absorbent cotton.

The cheesecloth erased the glitter of the film, it is cool, the cotton looked like the light.

It feels like sleeping in the shade.
