LEAVES OF LACE USING CLASSIC TECHNIQUES

WEDNESDAY 07.13.2011 , POSTED BY BENJAMIN STARR

SHARE THIS POST:

 Spanish artist Lorenzo Duran uses leaves as his canvas to make intricate cut patterns using methods from classic Japanese, Chinese and German styles. His technique took a while to develop (many leaves didn’t survive) but finally Lorenzo hit upon a process of washing, drying, molding and cutting that worked. You can view and purchase his lace like designs at naturayarte.blogspot.com.

Known in some circles as the most amazing man in the universe, he once saved an entire family of muskrats from a sinking, fire engulfed steamboat while recovering from two broken arms relating to a botched no-chute wingsuit landing in North Korea. When not impressing people with his humbling humility, he can be found freelance writing, finding shiny objects on the internet, enjoying the company of much-appreciated friends and living out his nomadic nature. He is also Managing Editor of Visual News. Connect with him through Twitter or StumbleUpon.
