turning over a new leaf?

not exactly

just enjoying the delicous design possibilities of two new ones picked up in the garden area of the hardware store over the weekend

I have fiddled with maple leaves before, but this one seems much "sharper" (and therefore may be much more difficult to make into a rubber stamp)

The other leaf is a dogwood --- lovely ripply edges, interesting shape --- very cool

Meantime I'm reading up on the how to's of submitting something to be made into a yard of cloth, which is pretty exciting too

Other projects are being worked on --- needle felting of a robin, building a bezel for a piece of brown glass, getting dodos for a special order ready to go out the door and nearing completion of the afghan I've been working on for what seems like forever

time to get to it!
