Nature’s Art – Leaf Cutting

Nature's Art

Nature’s Art is selling some amazing one-of-a-kind leaf cuts. To create these incredible illustrations, the artists carefully cut and remove layers of a Chinar leaf’s surface. Between the curing, drying and cutting of the leaf, the total process involves 60 steps. They have a PDF catalog of work as well as a PDF explaining the entire process here.

Dalton Ghetti’s Carved Pencils

Dalton Ghetti has far more patience than I do. It’s easy to tell because, I’m hardly patient enough to sharpen a #2 pencil regularly, let alone carve a handsaw in to the tip of one. I’m in complete awe of his carvings though, and I’m sure you will be too.

These photos by Matthias Heiderich are nice and stark. There are a ton on his Behance site and we’ve got a selection of more after the jump.


Anastassia Elias

Anastassia Elias made art in the least likely of places, inside of toilet paper rolls. Using paper that is similar to the roll itself, she gives the illusion that the scenes taking place inside of the rolls are actually part of the roll themselves. The detail and depth of each little piece is really nice. She claims it only takes her an hour to complete one, which is also impressive. See more after the jump.

Also, here’s a neat video walkthrough from Bobby.
