A Flicker of Inspiration: Leaves

It’s not quite time for the leaves to change yet, though some trees are getting ready for it. Today I wanted to take a look at some of the wonderful qualities of leaves around the year. Not only do they come in an amazing variety of colors and shapes, but their patterns and textures are also something to behold. Whether in a cluster, or a single leaf up close, they are some of nature’s most beautiful creations.

Great leaf photos! I love the mix of colors.

I have two main ways of incorporating leaves into my beading designs:
