Looks like you had funny this Summer. What are you going to do with them? Wallhangings? Platters/bowls?
What is your dog's name? I live in a dachshund neighborhood. So far there are 3, Norman, Fudgie and Em and all of them are always in the bushes chasing rabbits. Billie

I'm going to put them in my rock garden and give some to friends for Christmas. In 3 years I have made over 1000 leaves all sizes from grape,rhubarb,dock,hosta & elephant ears.
This is Whitney, she loves to be outside with me chasing the squirrels in HER yard.

Those are great. Do you use any kind of reinforcing mesh? I want to try some rice paper leaves.

Wow! Wonderful. I've got to try this, but I think I'd learn better by taking a class.

I use drywall tape on the larger ones to add a little strength.

Dry wall tape is really good - and if you work w/ even larger leaves (like Gunnera) you might find working w/ hardware cloth to be a good idea.
