Still not sure if I like this. But it is improving. And I do like the effect I have come up with on the leaves. Look carefully and you will see the curls.


This is a tedious and time consuming process. After I glue the leaves, I then come back and curl them using two needles. I then prop them with a straight pin to dry.

The whole effect is of a 3d pile of fallen leaves.

One of the branches was just screaming for a critter. Something to hide the fact that there was a break in the leaf veins and the paper backing was showing.

Here is my critter. That is my index fingernail - for size comparison. A tiny owl.

What do you guys think???

I have a kidney stone- off to the emergency room.

Have a better day than I am.
