Judiahaha says:Thanks Everyone! I appreciate your thoughts! This one seems to be the most popular of all my “leaf collections”, but when I looked at it again, this one also seems to be the most difficult to make anything, given the available pieces. I do love the colors, though!

Judiahaha says:OOps forgot to say – I could always use just the seed beads and vintaj leaves! It’s the picture Jasper stones where I’d need less of the large ones; at least that’s my opinion, since the leaves would be the focals.
