For my Clay projects

This is the tray to hold the the leaves or conversation notes.

I draw the shape on a piece of paper

Take a piece of clay roll out flat in the shape of your leave.

I flip it over a couple time so it does not stick or you could sprinkle powder.

Draw the vains and roll edges to look like a turn, round the the edges smooth

Draw the vains and roll edges to look like a turn, round the the edges smooth
                                                           

roll a small bit of clay to make a branch for the handle . Roll as long as you want your handle

I place something under the handle to hold it in place .Then attach with some water and smooth out You can use a brush  or your finger.

Now we do the leaves. Cut a shape of a leaf Use a tool that cut the clay away
A ice pick would work good

You then draw vain son the leaves.
A  much easy way is to get a mold of a leaf and use it

Hear are my leaves some from mold some hand molded


let it all dry

Now we paint.
Americana( brand of paint)
Country red
Rookwood red

Folk art( brand of paint)
pumpkin

Delta Creamcoat(brand of paint)
Straw ,Brown Antiquing gel

brush edges with some  pumpkin , straw.
Do the tray the same way

When dry and the way you like them.
Seal with a water base varnish I use Delta Creamcoat gloss ( I like a shine)
Glue a branch from a tree or make from clay
Write your message on a small paper (I rip for torn edge) and glue.

Pass the tray and start the conversations
I use for Thanksgaving .I find out allot I never knew.

I put some in a tree,sat them around my center piece.

Make as many leaves you need for a guests.They can be name placement card, also nice for napkin ring
