Problems Encountered In Work In Progress

At times we all encounter a step in a work in progression that fails for no apparent reason. My work is centred around gum leaves at the moment, have constructed the background and free motion machined the stems in place but the leaves just died. Oh well back to the drawing board so to speak to re construct gum leaves that will stand out and make a statement. The leaf when turned out to the right side did even resemble a leaf....oh well try again.
