Did you do each leaf one at a time then put them together? I can barely imagine just doing that part.

Yes, I did one at a time and sewed them together. I couldn't think of another way to do it, and it's easier to shape to the body that way too ^_^

[Caidanbi]

That is truly a masterpiece! Beautiful!

Thanks so much!

I do beadwork myself so I know how labor-intensive that was. You win the internet.

Thank you! It was definitely a lot of work. I'd love to see some of your beadwork too!

Amazing! I don't have the patience for something so time-consuming. My hat's off to you!

[Caidanbi]

Thank you! In general I would not say I am very patient, but when I can visualize something clearly, I am willing to put in the time and effort to make it a reality, it's very satisfying. ^-^

I'm speechless....

[Faydreams]

Wow, stunning work!

[Caidanbi]

Thank you both!
