Thanks.....I ordered a really cute kid's book after seeing it on Carol's show. It involves different kinds of leaves made into animal pictures. Really cute. Would mention the name but it's not in my bookshelf. As soon as I run across it....I'll share.

I think I've seen that book using leaves to make roosters, elephants, etc. Really pretty and amazing. I always say I'm going to do that with our fall leaves and never get a good collection to work with.

Speaking of leaves... I covered an egg with slices from a leaf cane and then realized I hate the color. Kind of a teal/pine green. Not a bad color, really... I just don't like it for leaves. Any idea how I could change it without covering up the "veining" in my leaves? I was thinking of Pearl Ex, but copper is the only warm color I have and it seems to need warming up...

Lia- you could try artists chalks to alter the color a bit, then spray with fixative.
