Here are my 30 leaves for your tree. I made them from remnants of the silk log cabin quilt I used for my gas station panel. I cut leaf shapes from the blocks of a ready-for-recycling antique silk log cabon quilt. I stitched a wire spine & stem down the center of each leaf, then stitched the leaf to a backing cut from the green cahio backing of the original quilt. The wired leaves can be bent & shaped as desired. I want to incorporate the rest into the rocket wrap. It's too raggedy to save, & I think your projects have given it a good home
Best Wishes for the New Year!

I love this project. I loved the gas station too. Is there any way you could bring your "tree" to Mobile. Or perhaps locate your next project here. I can put you in touch with the movers and shakers in the art scene here. I'm sure they would be receptive. We're working hard to grow the coming art life here, and a project like yours would attract a lot of positive attention.

Becky Shander - Hopkinton, MA
"Life is complex and full of challenges. Each day is an opportunity for me to learn and to grow. I fill my life with creative activities and through this I have found my bliss. Participating in art exchanges and collaborations is something that I thoroughly enjoy. It's an exercise that's good for all and a fabulous way to share. I am also fortunate to be able to share my work through magazine publications and hopefully a book one day."

Vivian Helena - Coarsegold, CA
Fiber Mixed Media Artist
Hand painted & dyed fibers. Hand and machine sewing, variegated threads, beads. "A drop of dew brings moisture to a dry earth" On the back side of my leaf it says "A Gift of Life". "We live in the mountains near Yosemite National Park. Our home is on the Fresno River, when we first moved here there was water in the river all year round. But now it goes dry about the middle of June and we get water again in November. Water has to be diverted to the agricultural areas. The wild animals struggle to find enough for their needs. I am a member of two yahoo exchange groups, Postmarked art, and Fiber Art Traders. It was through the Fiber Art Traders that I heard about your leaf project."
