Maple Leaf Roses

James Parton sent me of those circulating emails with images of fall maple leaves being made into faux roses. I tracked a source down and here it is:

these are gourgeous! I wonder how you can preserve the leaves from drying out too much..

Maybe rub some oil on them first? I picked up a few large red maple leafs this Fall and use them to enhance centerpiece displays. I notice they are still holding thier colors.
