leafy gathering :: love of leaves

Three lovely ladies came over yesterday for painting and stitching. Everyone started a leaf or two.

 Their painting turned out so well. One friend brought her wonderful collection of pressed leaves, which I wish I had photographed. Thanks to her efforts we had plenty of leaves to choose from.





















We were fortunate to have one very little lady present to keep us smiling. It was a great time.

Already looking forward to another round. Thanks so much ladies, for coming by!

Have a wonderful weekend.

    A wonderful selection of painted leaves! I had one more thought about the paint. I sometimes put an extra piece of cotton or muslin fabric under the fabric I'm painting. It acts as a blotter and may help with the paint bleeding. I also always have a "wipe up" cloth handy to soak up excess paint.

      Good to know, thank you. The wipe-up cloths and blotters could become something beautiful too with little bits of all the colors.

      Yes! They do become beautiful! I'm trying to figure out what to do with mine...
