Very nice! I haven’t seen a regular leaf in a while, but I imagine I’ll be causing a fire in my GF if I do find one.
Ooooo, very pretty! And there’s an abundance of material available to try that technique now—thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful design. I recall looking at books that had not been read recently and finding leaves left in them perhaps ten years or more. I would bet if you pressed them like that first…
Holy cow! That’s awesome
That’s really neat!
You were inspired, and now you are inspirational. I have lots of this material available and more to come. Thanks for sharing this. It is beautiful.
So delicate looking!
Pretty! Love that design on it!
That’s so pretty. Not a medium that would have occurred to me.
Wow! All of my experiments with leaves and bark have led to dumpster fires!
I just keep thinking how a framed set of three of these would make awesome wall décor! I need to try this when I move into the new house! (We’re still packing.)
I have three frames, but feel I need to find differently-shaped leaves.
That one was on my deck from the tree that shades my house…
I understand!
(I was just pondering on that myself, whether I should find three leaves here in California to bring with me, or find three nice ones in NC…)
Some clear spray to maybe stop it from turning into dust later?
Watched a video that was taking grapes with vodka injected and fast dipping them into a heavy sugar water mixture.
It gave them a very hard but clear outer coat. Not sure a fragile leaf would handle that though and nobody will be eating it, so…
Very cool! I often wondered if you could do that without it just burning up. Now to find leaves…in southern cali. LOL
Looks like fun
Now that is interesting. Maybe put that into resin.
That’s awesome would you be willing to share the settings? Gonna grab a couple leaves from outside to try haha
