               This cocoon, suspended from a tree in woodlands of Arcozelo, in 
              northern Portugal, was part of Art Nature Fest which was held in 
              March 2013. It is the work of
              
              Jaime Filipe, an inspiring land artist who has been creating 
              beautiful natural art in Portugal for some seven years. The 
cocoon is the first venture away from working in stone, a material Jaime has a 
particular affinity for but no less than the beautiful sensitivity he expresses 
using ivy tendrils.  
               You can watch a short film of his work with 
              stone 
              arches in the video below and here you can see more pictures 
              of Jaime's
              
              land art, including the cocoon.
