Discovering Nature's Beauty

As much as I love beads,  here is something different... 

My totally New project is published in Fall issue of "Create & Decorate" magazine  - "Framed Autumn Leaf".

I found the leaf in my backyard, laying  under the pine trees.  I picked it up when it was "dying" - loosing it's fibers.

There was something so magical about the texture  and color of  the leaf, that I decided to preserve it.  So much beauty around us waiting to be discovered...
