Instead of water, she used a mix of glycerine and water, and let the leaves take up the water just as flowers would. They lasted for at least 20 years, when my DH threw them out after she died. Sorry, I do not know the ratio of glycerine to water that she used, but you could probably find it if you did a search for preserving magnolia leaves. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for other leaves also.siamkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806165081721929858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773501156791979952.post-14010957194363140352015-05-14T18:05:39.246-07:002015-05-14T18:05:39.246-07:00Yes, the leaf is fragile but I did coat it with gl...Yes, the leaf is fragile but I did coat it with glue but I need to switch types of glue because the craft glue did not stick that well.Madtatter80https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047145271493817811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773501156791979952.post-69143115237414130502015-05-13T14:30:42.955-07:002015-05-13T14:30:42.955-07:00The mermaid tears look wonderful with your tatting...The mermaid tears look wonderful with your tatting, Mad!
