I keep mine sorted by color, too, and dip into the little containers regularly. Your leaves are make a lovely eco statement as well as being beautiful. I see brooches when I look at them, a way to take them out for a spin.

In between her two week-long walks, she had a Saturday in St. Ives, where she poked into the galleries. She's a painter, so very keen on art. I just had tea with her this afternoon, and she was telling me about her trip. We like to share art ideas, so I was telling her that I wanted to try some textile art for a change -- something with shimmery fabrics and threads and precious, small things that I've saved over the years (odd earrings, for example). Although I'm a seasoned seamstress and painter, I wasn't sure where to start on this new venture. Google, of course! In the course of my internet browsing, I came across your website and am inspired by your leaf tutorial. This is just the look I want to achieve in a small hanging, so the chiffon-overlay technique looks promising. I brought up the image first and then went back to your blog, and I was charmed to see that you're in St. Ives. A few neat connections -- St Ives, your art, my friend, textiles, the Cornwall coast, etc. Don't we live in a lovely, connected world?<br /><br />Thanks for putting beauty out there for all of us to enjoy, and for not hoarding your skills and techniques. Bless you!<br /><br />Joan, from Ottawa, CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-26838106768963534142009-10-29T11:00:56.251+00:002009-10-29T11:00:56.251+00:00Hi Carolyn,
