Falling Leaves Fantasy casts three botanically true leaves: a grand deeply-veined maple, a smaller maple and a slender curled beech, each with its stem intact. Cast and finished in bronze, copper or verdigris wax, they read as gathered from a very expensive forest.

The 5 x 8 inch food-grade silicone mould works 8 mm deep with paper clay, resin, air-dry clay, hot glue and chocolate. Scatter castings down a table runner, wire them into wreaths and garlands, or mount them on a cabinet where autumn should live year round.
