This was a fun and simple little project. It was my friend’s birthday the other day and I hadn’t got her a present yet. She is a rather accomplished palaeobotanist/artist and ginkgos are her favourite thing. So I actually downloaded one of her own pictures of some leaves, scaled them correctly to life size and printed them out. I then traced them onto leather, finished them a little and made a quick leather thong to string them onto (the clip and split ring are just there to give her options).

Really quick and fun little project and I’m rather pleased how it came out.
