The Big Leaf in Rochester

Terry lays out the color palette for her design in today's "Big Leaf" class. We trace the pattern on freezer paper to make the templates (the hard work), and then the fun happens when we determine a palette. Watching the progression of these designs is a treat.

Big Leaf or Wooden Leaf?

I saw this wooden leaf at Rehoboth while getting ready to teach "The Big Leaf". Seemed just the same as my design. My ice cream is on the side for scale (as well as to operate the camera). More neutrals, though. Ha!

The Big Leaf in Bristol Springs

Thursday I taught a workshop on how to use freezer paper templates -- here is Jeanette. Bristol Springs, part of the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, was the setting for this fabulous day.
