Artists engrave Mona Lisa, Napoleon on to leaves!
March 2nd, 2010 - 3:41 pm ICT by ANILondon, March 2 (ANI): The Chinese art of hand carving on tiny leaves is beginning to be admired world over with artists bringing alive well known pieces such as Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
Leaf Art is by no means easy; creating an image on a leaf may take up to a week.
Other images crafted include Napoleon, Marilyn Monroe and the Statue of Liberty.
“Once people actually see and feel the quality of this product they are quite simply in awe,” the Sun quoted Dean Prator, President of Leaf Carving Art in California, as saying. (ANI)
