Start by getting your leaf pattern ready. You can draw or print on a piece of paper. Lay a piece of freezer (shiny side up) or wax paper over it and tape down so it doesn't shift.

Roll up a golf ball sized amount of yellow and white mold putty. Combine them thoroughly by pinching, "smooshing" and rolling until it's a uniform yellow color with no white parts.

Roll it into a snake that's a little thicker than a pencil. Bend it around on the paper to follow the leaf shape. Pinch ends together where they meet, trying to smooth a bit. Press it all down a bit too, to make sure it has flat contact with the freezer paper - but don't lose height.

Pour clear resin into smaller mixing cups to add mica powder and alcohol inks. The powders will make the resin opaque, and the inks will stay more see through.
