![]() About our artistic leaf
To most of us, a leaf is a piece of nature noticed in the fall when it turns into a nuisance to be raked and discarded.
But for some folk artists in Artistic Leaf Workshop, a leaf means more. They have turned leaves into artwork by hand sculpturing portraits, landscapes and letters on them.
This gorgeous leaf art originated in a small town in China and is done on dry leaves of phoenix trees. This artwork is one of the oldest forms of art, and only a few people around the world are left that create this form of art.
This artwork is sculptured on delicate leaves and shows the creativity and perfectionism of the folk artist.
The phoenix tree is a very large tree that has heart-shaped leaves. It produces kelly flowers and brown fruit when it is ripe. It has many myths and stories associated with it. For instance, one of folklore in China is that ‘planting phoenix tree attracting phoenix’ (栽下梧桐树,自有凤凰来). The phoenix tree is the symbol of peace, noble, love and lucky, and it is also considered sacred to Buddhists.
People love this artwork because it is beautiful and you can only imagine the time and carefulness it takes to make one of these. They are pretty cool.
This artwork is only considered rare to collectors before, but now it is more and more popular to the eco-friendly hotel, office, green building and family as a graceful art and personalized gift.
