I thought I’d seen every type of book carving imaginable, until I ran across these jaw dropping creations by Guy Laramee .

These are leaf cut out illustrations by Nature’s Art from China. Notes about the cutting process by 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. 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.
