I think huge hefty bags covered with leaves would be good for several reasons.
If you are homeless, you could put them over you for a great nights sleep. The coppers would think you were merely a pile of fall folaige.
The kids could make leaf tents to hide in, or sit on them while having a picnic
lunch. Heck they could even stack them up and then jump on em.
When done you could just invert them, stuff em with *your* dead leaves, and then use them to hold them till the truck comes to get them.
Hefty Leaves.
ghilli suit, OK it's not just a bag!

just thinking of you - a programme with Stephen Fry in your part of the world on TV at present. |

//she also said "gargabe//
and "folaige" |
|
| |
Who scrambled my brain on the 12th and then hung me out to dry with this dribble? (God, the things you do while on library time!!!) |
|
| |
You could put them over trees in the fall and confuse the
hell out of people. |
|
| |
// why hefty? // If they weren't hefty, then the wind might blow them off you while you slept ... because you wouldn't want to sleep *inside* them, because, being plastic, they'd not be breathable. |
|
| |
Also, if they weren't hefty, then you'd miss the spectacle of someone kicking through piles of fallen leaves and stubbing a toe. |
|
| |
For these two functions, you could just use normal leaves, but weigh down the bag's corners with concealed bricks. |
|
| |
However, I also like the idea of expecting a leaf to tumble delicately from a branch, and then seeing it drop straight down like a hefty thing. For this, you would need to mould the leaf from, say, copper. |
|
| |
I see this as a 'defeating expectations' aesthetic idea, a bit like some of [xenzag]'s... but I may be talking gargabe. |
|
| |
Why invert them to put the leaves in? It would be more
attractive than a bunch of plastic bags at curbside to leave
them leafy side out. |
|
| |
Agreed, and also the gargabe collector could easily tell the leaves from the regular gargabe. |
|
| |
Gargabe, I thought that was an aborigine that lived in the
outback and ate dingos or was that a dingo that ate
aborigine. It's been a long time since I Googled it. |
