nature prints

When the leaves start turning color it makes me think of nature printing.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe it's because I have a thing for leaves.  I just love them and hate to see bare trees.  Maybe I just want to preserve them.

I am trying to think of a cool way to use these leaves in a stitching project.  I would really like to enter this show   http://www.onnguilds.ca/threadworks/CALLforentry2010b.pdf   

The above leaves I printed with interference paint.  I love that stuff.  It's a little hard to tell from the photo how pretty interference paint is.  If you haven't played with it you really must try it.
