Wow!! Very different!

[Tampa Doll]

Facinating. One question, I wonder how they keep the leaves from cracking and falling apart as they dry?

[hhensler]

I was wondering that too...perhaps some type of varnish?

[Arlinka]

Wow!! Amazing!! Such patience!!

I would be interested to see what a person could do using fake leaves/flowers...

[Granny Square]

Wow! I agree re: the amazing part is the fragility of the leaf. Very cool.

[cat3crazy]

Very interesting and such quality work.

[Charis]

Wow! Those are quite amazing!

Holy cow! How is that done???

[FrLopLady]

It's pretty incredible. I would guess the holes are made with a sharp awl or needle of some kind. Wonder if it is all hooked before the leaves turn color?? that is about the only way i could see being able to do that work.

 

Really cool projects!

I wonder if the leaves are soaked in glycerin or something similar to keep them pliable? Very pretty!

Most of those are magnolia leaves which are very tough and leathery at one point. I think she must be getting the leaves at just the right stage to work with. Still — pretty amazing!
