About the same time I made the Copper Book for my daughter, I made a Leaves Book for myself. Having spent the fall pressing leaves I was well supplied. The book was made the same way as the Copper Book: hard covers with accordion spine and individual pages glued in.
 |
| The tassel made from yarn, threads, beads, and a copper tag. |
 |
| The covers were made with a handmade paper with natural bits in it and the back stamped with gingko rubber stamps. The pressed gingko leaf has lost its stem I am afraid. |
 |
| Postage stamps and maple leaves. |
 |
| A piece of handmade paper with a leaf embedded and two skeleton leaves. |
 |
| This page was a clear envelope with the largest leaf inside the envelope. I used clear embossing powder on the leaf and it has cracked a bit with use. |
 |
| This leaf was embossed with a very granular rusty powder. |
 |
| The other two Canadian postage stamps, joss paper, plastic leaves and rubber stamped leaves. |
There are so many lovely quotations about leaves I was hard put to choose.
