Preserving fall leaves HELP

Thanks for the link Mrs. D. I want to preserve the leaves with some curl and bend to them; makes for more interesting pictures. I know, I didn't specify that in my question. Looks to me like glycerin or something like it will do what I want.

I too pressed fall leaves between sheets of waxed paper for children. They are a wonderful topic of 'conversation' and the kids are really interested in looking at such pretty colors and in being able to hold them in their hands.

Thanks for the reply. Flat leaves don't photograph well. They need some twist and curl to give a sense of dimension to a two dimension photograph. I want to be able to preserve BOTH the color and the natural shape of the leaves.

OK. Now I get it! I was wondering if leaving a 'bubble' area around the leaves or, in other words, ironing around and away from the leaves letting them in as natural a state as possible would help?

Maybe this is dumb...but I too believe that 'if you can think /have an idea, you can probably find a way'. You said it better and I loved what you said. That was so great. Thanks.
