Also: my original idea wasn't quite so 3D but because I had to hand-cut the silk leaves from much larger leaves (variegated oak), I use a thin layer of clear nail polish to prevent fraying on the cotoneaster leaf edges.

While I left them after to cure/offgas for a couple of weeks, I realised adding them into the actual slipcover art using a manual button-stitching technique I learned years ago would ENSURE nothing nasty lingering on the leaves would be likely to come in through the filter media beneath the artwork.

Thank you for your compliments on this project! 🙂❤️
