Hello ladies!

I LOVE images of The Green Man! In researching it on the internet (where everything is absolutely correct ;+) I found the following:

Superficially the Green Man would appear to be pagan, perhaps a fertility figure or a nature spirit, similar to the woodwose (the wild man of the woods), and yet he frequently appears, carved in wood or stone, in churches, chapels, abbeys and cathedrals, where examples can be found dating through to the 20th century. The earliest example of a green man disgorging vegetation from his mouth is from St. Abre, in St. Hilaire-le-grand, c. 400 AD

So . . . let's create a Green Man ATC. I have also read that Green Woman images are rare, so if you find one, use her! There are great images on pinterest of faces, tree carvings, tarot cards, etc. Lots available.

Hope you'll get out the leaf punches and join me!
