It's true. People want to know the technique behind this, and I failed to provide any explanation.

I am curious as well. I will take some time and try to get the story behind the art.

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.

Leaf Carvings, are exceeding all expectations in popularity. Carved from an actual leaf which has been dried and cured, Leaf Carvings come in various subject matter. "Amazing," "Beautiful," are the words first heard from our customers who purchased one of these.
