Confetti
I have been very much inspired by the link jacqui left in the fourm to Maureens blog which has a great explanation of confetti making.
What I was wondering though, would it work just as well if it was sparsley "confettied". I would like to use this methood to make my leaves for the tree, but it couldnt be as heavily confetteid to get the dappled leave look I would require.
Any ideas/suggestions.

Think of a tree with sunlight dappling the leaves........you could use shades of lemon and various shades of green(light through dark) with even a few bits of sky blue peeping through.
Or
you could "fussy cut"a piece of leafy fabric.
My understanding and use of confetti fabric is that it a process of creating a unique piece of fabric. The laying on of fabric to create a look is simply that and just like appliqué. Covering it with tulle or the like is the technique used in confetti to hold it all together. I think you create the fabric first....maybe confetti like and then cut the result into the shapes you want. This I think moves it into the 'art' realm. So does creating what you want with solvey or the like. Even using real leaves is a possibility. If you don’t want the tulle look over your pieces simply glue them down.
One very necessary step is to try everything and throw away nothing....all your test pieces will finish up a work of art at some stage so have a special place to collect them. Mine is a lovely French wooden box....I know it is tempting to put in you art journal but I only now include little bits so the main event can be used for something else. Many of my art journals have blank spaces where I pulled out a trial piece to use in something else!
