Skeleton leaves
The delicate tracery of veins and ribs is really attractive.
Large, sturdy leaves work best for this. Clean the leaves, then press them between heavy books, such as phone books or catalogues. Leave for several weeks.
Wearing rubber gloves, mix water and washing soda in a bowl. Add the leaves, and leave until the flesh of the leaves turns loose and pulpy. Remove the leaves, and rinse carefully in cold water.
Use a toothbrush or paintbrush to gently brush away the pulp, until only the veins remain. Blot dry with a paper towel.
You can use the delicate skeleton leaves in all kinds of ways, such as on a lampshade or the ideas above...You might also like...
