Suspended Fall

I designed this piece in the fall in an attempt to capture leaves falling from the trees.  The center is a piece of clear glass.  The leaves were cut using a ring saw.  I touched off the sharp edges using a grinder.  My original idea was to glue the leaves onto the clear glass center.  I wasn't sure I could get the glue to hold so I ended up using copper foil on the top edge of each leaf and suspending the leaves by the wire.  I spray painted the frame the same color as the orange in the leaves.
