Leaf Art

I found this really cool website pressedleaf.com and I loved almost all of the leaf art on it! And we can't afford to decorate much so I decided I would make some myself. The difficult thing is that to make this it takes almost all year to gather the leaves! I have 3 maple leaves of different colors and still needed green, so my wonderful husband took me into the canyon yesterday-after stopping for a slurpie :) to gather some for my leaf press. It was a fun outside day, thanks Steve! This picture is actually from the website but it's what I'm trying to create. All four are hung in my kitchen, but my green leaf was looking faded so I got some bright spring ones. Hopefully soon mine will look as good as these. Check out his website, it's really cool!
