already? yup.

Oh my gosh, I am almost embarrassed to post this. We haven’t even caught our breath after all those fall sumac leaves, and already I am starting with the pressed and dehydrated leaves. My only excuse is that I chose to spend the day catching up on my inbox, so I had to reach for subjects close at hand to photograph, which meant the leaves I experimented with in the dehydrator this fall. In order to fit them all into the dehydrator, I had to slightly press them flat with a screen on top as well as below. So they look pressed, but indeed they are dehydrated. I like how the colors are preserved; better than pressing I think?
