Bunch of Poppies - Leaf Work

I've finished all but one of the leaves - but I need to do some correction work.


Looking at the top bunch of leaves :

The one facing down has way too much 'darkest' colour in it. To look right, it needs dark colour just on the tips - where it would be in shadow as 'it is lost in the bunch'.

That leaf to the left - what is going on there? Not good things. I think I may make it all dark.

I'm going to do a bit of padding, just for a change, and then I'll fix these up. The numbers on the petals are to help me keep track of which tiny piece of felt is for which petal.

You have wonderful patience to be able to keep taking it out and redoing it. It's looking good
