Creating leaf
art is a long and complex process. Leaves are put
through a 60 step process such as, manually cutting and
removing the outer surface of the leaf while leaving the
leafs veins intact which add detail into the subject
matter of the carving. Pressing,
curing and dying are also just a few of the steps needed
to prepare the leaf.

a Chinar tree, which is native to India, Pakistan and
China. Chinar leaves closely resemblance the leaf of a
