This week's project was inspired by one of my blog friend's, Michelle. She's owner of the blog Faerie* Dust * Dreams and is hosting a contest in celebration of her 100th post. So, I thought I'd join in the fun and enter. Above is my entry. I think the leaves would make a great mobile; in my mind, I picture them suspended by red string. But I was running out of time so I didn't get to experiment with that. Perhaps the leaves will adorn a bookshelf. Directions to make the leaves are below.
1. Trace leave images onto newspaper and cut out two leaves for each design ( I just free handed the images but you could trace a leaf).
2. Glue 2/3's of the edge of one leaf
3. Place the matching leaf on it
4. Stuff with a tiny amount of tissue and glue rest of the seam. Done
* These are basically little pillows made of newspaper, glue, and tissue

You are now officially the fall prom queen - yahooo! your leaves were cool - love the japanese paper. one time i was at a chinese restaurant ordering some food when i saw a pile of newspaper from Japan (or china!) - so i asked if could take some and i am always so glad that i did! every now and again it turns out to be the perfect paper for a project!
good job!
