Cool Mike! I haven't tried applying transparent materials to them. I'll have to give it a go! :) Sparkel, I don't know if there's a eucalyptus tree around (thanks for spelling it for me! Isn't copy/paste wonderful? grin) Laurie has created some eucalyptus branches, suitable for adding to a flower arrangement. You can find those at Big-I.com (I think), or check her website: http://www.lauriesvue.com Vue has a wonderful way of seducing us, doesn't it? :)
