'I too love leaves. One trick I have used is to use steam a seam light to fuse actual leaves to the fabric -- those leaf remnants that seem to be held together merely by veins. I asked Lynn to send me a picture of an example of her technique, and here it is:
Lynn added this comment in her e-mail: " It is a small piece, maybe 12x15. I was just experimenting. It was remarkably easy to iron the leaf. I tried ironing it first without fusible to make sure it would work.

This is a cool idea that I'm going to try. Thanks for sharing this :)
