That's kind of what we had in mind.  We found a leaf-shaped cookie
cutter and little finial-caps that were the perfect size.  We tried them
out last night, but the Sculpey doesn't seem to harden completely and we
were able to break one of them fairly easily.  Does anybody out there
have experience with Sculpey?  Please answer privately, since this is
getting WAY off topic now.  I don't want to annoy anybody :)

I'd also like to find a larger leaf cookie cutter, if anybody has any
leads on that.  I wonder if there's a www.cookiecutters.com...

Thanks!
