We were at the lake this weekend, so I didn't get to peel the leaf off the cement until this evening

I peeled the leaf halfway off to show the imprint of the veins on the cement

All the outer edges beyond the actual edges of the leaf will get sanded off by my Dremmel tool...Thumb of 2011-06-20/Bubbles/409c40

The nearly finished product, before sanding and painting. I made a small hole in the middle in case I decided to use it for water. I could plug it with a tiny cork, but this leaf is much too flat for water, I think.
