Like this real maple leaf my mother varnished onto light press-board to make a coaster.
I pressed a hosta leaf into clay to make little dishes which I use as stove-top spoon holders when cooking.
To make these dishes, I copied the design of my mother's maple leaf (above), enlarging it a bit. They could be used to hold candies or nuts.
For my next leaf project, I'd like to try quilting some leaf-shaped mug-rugs. I've been admiring some online and have posted pictures of a few on my online "Pinterest" account.
(I'll post pictures if and when I manage to get them done!)
