The art of carving the leaves of the Chinese masters Bashny.Net

The art of carving leaves this for several years engaged in Chinese masters of the company "Longal Craft Co., Ltd.". They perform unusual and unique artworks in the red leaves of autumn, or rather carve on dry leaves.

The surface of the sheet as a canvas for the artist, but before beginning work he requires some treatment. All the leaves, mostly maple, according to owners of the company are collected in ecologically clean regions. The leaves chosen for further work only symmetrical, entire, without blemish and damage, nice and bright, different colors and shades. Then they are subjected to handling, dropping in boiling water to kill all microbes and make the sheet elasticity and softness, then dried, removing excess moisture. And here starts the mysterious action — is carved on the leaf, the intricacies of which the company is not disclosed and kept secret.

Upon closer examination it is seen that carving on the leaves is only the top layer of the leaf, leaving intact the frame is composed of a "mesh" of leaf veins. This creates an extraordinary, weightless image, which is as it rests on a thin and transparent grid held the fragile stem of the leaf. We must pay tribute to the patience and skill of the masters, because it is necessary not only to accurately convey the artistic value of the image, but when working to maintain the integrity of the frame sheet. The work is actually very thin and jewellery.

By the way, the company accepts orders from individuals and undertakes to make any image of the customer, and then deliver the finished work in one piece to any address in the world.
