  1. Hi, Ray,

    Here are six pictures of the leaf patterns I used for my Autumn Leaves wall art. I changed the sizes of the patterns I used to have a variety leaf sizes. You'll notice that leaf #1 was used twice, once as a small leaf in the center, and once as a large upside down leaf at the bottom. You may also notice that some of the patterns at pixelated as they were pretty small and I had to enlarge them. I used what stains and paints I had on hand to color the leaves and then sprayed a clear coat over them. When I put them together I first glued them and then screwed them to ensure the glue wouldn't fail on me at some time. I hope this helps.

      Thanks Fred. You have gone above and beyond my expectations. I'll download these and save them to my pattern file. If/when I make one similar to yours, I'll post a pic and send one to you also. Thanks again.
