Nature Journal- Specimen Page
This is a small collection of tiny leaves that were gathered in the spring shortly after the leaves emerged.
Have you ever noticed the soft pink and soft orange spring trees? Some spring leaves have soft colors along with the expected green.
This specimen page is a photo-album page. The page was cut to the size for this book.
I noticed that the photo sleeves had melted seams and that is how I decided to melt places in the sleeves around the leaves to keep them in place.
We dried these particular leaves sometime between 1996 -1999. 
I warmed the tip of an old spoon on a stove eye (which was on a med-low to low temp). I pressed the hot spoon onto the photo sleeve in a few places around the leaves. This keeps the leaves from slipping down. If you try this, do not heat the spoon too hot. Too much heat will ruin the sleeve!
