This beautiful art originated in the southern India (Kerala). Its done on dry Peepal (Ficus religiosa) leaves. <BR /></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.crookedbrains.net/2008/01/paintings-on-leaves.html">So how do we create it?<BR />If you are among those who can hold the brush & create some artistic stuff you are half way through. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.crookedbrains.net/2008/01/paintings-on-leaves.html">Place a few leaves in a bowl full of water for a month or so. But do remember to check it once every few days to see the condition of the leaves. The purpose of soaking the leaves is to remove the outer layer of the leaves. After being in water for long, the leaves get a film over them, which you need to clean by washing it off or use a brush periodically. And do remember to change the water with a fresh one periodically. And one other thing patience is a virtue along with fragile handling here.   <BR />Once the outer skin is lost, it leaves behind a beautiful bony structure, usually off-white in color.<BR /><DIV>Now dry it for a day & you got a leaf to paint on.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px;
