Leaf Art

You may think that leafs are very limited in use. If that is the case then you will be shocked finding out about all the options they present; I know I was!

I had already mentioned before that framed leaves are unique pieces of art in any room. They can be used in a composition or when you would rather have something larger then a collage is a great project with an astonishing result.

My suspicion was that was all which could be done with leaves, but I was proven wrong when I did a search. I had no idea that leaves were used as a canvas for some gorgeous paintings, as you can see in this picture.

Of course you would have to use a dried leaf to do this, otherwise your painting will beat the wrinkles of a 100 year old woman in no time.

I suppose even the tiniest leaves would lend themselves very well for this art. Agreed, the painted image would be very small, but wouldn't it be fun if it comes with a magnifying glass??? :-)
