Book Mark and Leaves

I had fun with Robins beautiful pattern ,I was little nervous to keep up with her flawless tatting and patterns :)
Thank You Robin!

After a week of soaking and holding the leaves under the glycerin water with this pretty shell
the water solution turned greener.

I took them out to dry the little round one is nice but to thin to work with (it was a weed) and so is the one on the far right with one point
the two large ones are "Dog Wood" tree and the tear was in that one to start with.
"Maple" is the three others and ones, "Ornamental Olive" leaf, is the long narrow one.

The Camera picked up the shine little more, but this process made the leaves pliable to work with and that is what I wanted.
Almost forgot the book mark is made with size 40 thread I did a 
little sample of size 20 next to it.
Have a fun week ya all!
