Leaf Manipulation by Ms Yuri Ishizuka

Throughout this demonstration, I keep in mind that although a particular leaf can be manipulated in a variety of ways, but to keep it simple, clean and focused.  It is a compilation of many of the techniques to create with leaves in a contemporary way. Once it is shaped we can use staples,wire, cable ties, or thin double-sided tape to hold the leaf in place.
I hope in the future I could experiment with various different types of leaves.

Fun!!
