Meticulous leaf carving artwork from Nature’s 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.

There’s even a step-by-step leaf carving tutorial [pdf] if you desire.
