Cutting Out the Perfect Leaf

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Anna Denise

Lorenzo Duran is a self-taught Spanish artist who uses ancient Chinese, Japanese, German and Swiss paper-cutting techniques to create beautiful creations out of dried leaves. I can't even imagine the patience and precision that went into creating this beauty, but I love it. On his website, Duran says that working with products from nature feels more pure to him, like he's just bringing out the artistic perfection each leaf intrinsically possesses. Isn't that a nice thought... Link: Website

   This is so cool! It makes collecting leaves and putting them in my journal a lot more like art.
