I'm looking for tiny leaves to be used on individual figure bases. Prefer a US supplier. Where can I find these?

If natural materials won't do it for you, Antenociti's Workshop has a good variety--yes, in the UK:

Jed has an excellent reputation for good service, too.

Birch seeds? One of those northern trees has leaf-like seeds that are reasonably small.

I THINK I have seen teeny little leaves in craft stores like Michael's around Halloween. I think they come in shaler bottles.

I also support Antenociti – they're good, and they're nice.

But their best leaves, from Plus Model (Czechoslovakian) in 1:48 scale, are available here in the US (at least I think it's 1:48 – the product numbers match up with those in Plus Model's catalogue):

There are some very nice etched brass sets available from Hasslefree.

get some colored paper and run it through a shredder, sissor the rest to fit.

Go too your local michales or hobby lobby and look in thier Xmass ornaments section, look for some small xmass wreaths about 3 inches across. These are made of coiled wire with small plastic leaves attached you can unwind it and cut the leaves off and use it for ivy on your buildings or wrap it around the branches of your trees and they cost only a buck

I have some of the Plus Model oak leaves…..they are very nice, slightly oversized for 28mm but not that noticable

go to the grocery store and find a spice whose size, color and texture suits you. I recommend picking a spice that is common and cheap, like oregano, but once you've the spice y ou want you can work on getting it cheap in bulk.

I also save old cigarreettes
