Having JUST taken a class with Christine Springett with the specific goal to learn to make a respectable leaf, (mission accomplished!), I can report that while I initially struggled to make a leaf the same way I make tallies, she encouraged me, saying that if I could do it that way, she would not tell me no. She added that once a beautiful leaf is made, no one will ever know which way you used. But my efforts were not rewarded until I caved in and worked the leaf like she demonstrated. So for me, a tallie is made one way, a leaf another.
