My herbs and other plants - I love those subdued colours.
Wishing you a creative week!
How creative. I really like them. They don't seem very lasting though. I have visions of crumbling dry leaves.
ReplyDeleteYour work is so pretty & inspiring. Would you consider telling us how you preserve the leaves to get them ready for embroider? Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteAgain gorgeous leaves! You inspired me to pick a few nice leaves in my garden, I put them in an old book to dry before I'm going to use them.
ReplyDeleteoh you're doing a beautiful job with the leaves. i love them all.

ReplyDeleteyou have been so creative with these leaves, I found a box when having a tidy up full of leaves but oh dear such a smell! The ones I had pressed are okay but had to throw some out.Some must have been there over 10 years!
ReplyDeleteFantastic leaves. The embroidery must have been a challenge!
