But do remember to check it once every few days to see the condition of the leaves. The purpose of soaking the leaves is to remove the outer layer of the leaves. After being in water for long, the leaves get a film over them, which you need to clean by washing it off or use a brush periodically. And do remember to change the water with a fresh one periodically. And one other thing patience is a virtue along with fragile handling here. <BR />Once the outer skin is lost, it leaves behind a beautiful bony structure, usually off-white in color.<BR /><DIV>Now dry it for a day & you got a leaf to paint on.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px;
