Extraordinary leaf artwork, by Lorenzo Duran.
He washes, dries and presses real leaves and uses a very precise cutting technique to create intricate canvases out of nature’s beauty. His inspiration is the work of ancient Chinese and Japanese artists and Duran believes that every natural object and living thing has art present in its pure essence. — Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/greenrenaissance/?fref=photo

Cool! I love that they'd be terribly hard to preserve too. Neat, thanks!

Daughter and Son-in-law got back from Switzerland and reported that this style of art, though not using leaves, can be seen many places.
The box of candy they gave me has delicate cut out scenes on the lid's inner wrapping.

I've not the patience or skill to do this, at all.
