LEAF ART

Intricate and beautiful leaf art by Spanish artist Lorenzo Duran.  According to Lorenzo, every natural object and living thing has a bit of art in it and is a good medium to experiment creativity. He was inspired by the Japanese and Chinese art of paper-cutting techniques and  he decided to try them out on leaves. Whenever he gets an idea, he first puts it on paper, then places it over a leaf and uses the scalpel to cut.

Just Wonderful! Lorenzo's thoughts remind me of the opening lines of William Blake's poem "Auguries of Innocence"

"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
