Almost too late, I remembered a tutorial that
my dear friend Sharon shared last year on her blog.
(Sharon is no longer blogging. :~{ )
The leaves on our trees have all fallen off,
and though once beautiful shades of yellow,
orange, rust and lime, they have all mellowed
to a wearied gold.
I quickly put these together and added the
last of the brilliantly colored dogwood leaves
for that splash of Autumn color.
Perhaps you still have a few brightly colored leaves
and can yet try your hand at this delightful
nature craft.
Please let me know if you do ~ I would love to see how yours turned out!

This is just lovely! I am sure that the leaves must be a bit pliable and not so dry in order to turn them and make them into flowers.
Just beautiful.

That is a very pretty arrangement of fall colors. You did an excellent job on this creation.
Interesting use of fall foliage. The arrangement is lovely!

You're so clever! This is beautiful and love the using of autumn leaves.
Very clever, I think it's too late for us to gather leaves this year.
Will have to file this idea away for next year. . .
Have a great day!
Oh wow. Never seen that before. Thanks for sharing the tutorial link.
Very neat, I have never seen anything like leaf roses before. Clever. Thanks for sharing.
Those were gorgeous photo's. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
How unique. I have never seen anything like this. I will have to try it.
Thank You for sharing.

These are so beautiful. I would really love to make one if I can just find some leaves. Maples are some of the first trees to drop their leaves here. I am going to look today!
Amazing! I wish our leaves turned fall colors here in the sunny south - but they go straight from green to dead! :) Maybe some spray paint is in order...
Beautiful, I've never seen this done before. I will have to give it a try, but not sure my leaves are large enough. They've just started turning a beautiful reddish maroon.

Thank you for sharing the link to this tutorial! We don't have maples here in Alabama (except for the Japanese variety), but we do have a lot of sweet gums! I can't wait to try this with the deep maroon sweet gum leaves...
Absolutely amazing!!!!
