^^^ raising hand ^^^ Thanks Beth for those good tips on how you make your leaves. This too is how I was taught by my BL teacher. I have some images and instructions on my website showing the steps on how to make the leaves in just this way: http://tat-man.net/clunyinstr.html
I was also shown how to make the leaves in the palm of my hand off the pillow by another lacer friend. Either way worked for me! :) Interesting reads on all these different ways to make leaves and tallies. And I appreciate all your knowledge and this will broaden my perspective and try out some other ways.
