Leaf Embroidery
I saw a cool photo item on The Guardian about American artist Hillary Waters Fayle's stitching on leaves. Check it out here. She first started doing this when she worked at a summer camp. She said, "It was here that I first combined my passions - art and embroidery with nature."
Have you ever tried to stitch on leaves? I haven't but it looks interesting.
You can see more of her work on her website here.

Fantastic work! I think it must be very difficult to stitch leaves; if they are too fresh there would be sap, if they are too dry they would be brittle and pulverise. I also wonder how long they will last inside their frame.
Interesting, but not for me - I want the feel of fabric!
I haven't seen that before, it does look interesting.
I love this leave stitch, I suppose it would depend on the species. Can't see Japanese Maple being stitched, too delicate.
Pamela: This is a beautiful idea, using some of God's creations in art, thank-you for sharing the link.
I hope you are able to try this, if so let us see your work, you are very creative.
Have a wonderful day

I haven't but those look fabulous!
That's very cool! Probably not very long lasting, though?
