Musings about Life, the Universe and Reality
There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.
A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.
A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.
A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.
A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.
A Land of Melting Shadows.

Wow! These are awesome!! It amazes me how much detail is put into them, similar to paintings on feathers.
Thanks SO much for sharing them with us!
Wow....and WOW! That is pretty amazing. So those are real leaves?! I just love how people think of these fantastic ways to create! These are perfect for Autumn.
those are wonderful.. such patience.... definately not a craft for me...
Very very nice.
That is just incredible! I wonder if they can seal them in such a way as to preserve them. They would be pretty fragile.
Very cool!
I really CAN'T believe my eyes! Those cannot be real leaves! That is definitely a skill, to be able to paint on dried leaves!
These leaves aren't painted. Natural leaf carving is actual manual cutting and removal of a leaf's surface to produce an art work on a leaf. The process of carving is performed by artists using tools to carefully remove the surface without cutting or removing the veins. The veins add detail into the subject matter of the carving.
The material or most common leaf used in leaf carving is the leaf of a Chinar tree. The Chinar tree is native to India, Pakistan and China. Chinar leaves have a close resemblance to maple leaves.
whoa! how is that...possible. So amazing!
