For the past several years, I have been recreating the vascular structure of leaves by intricately stitching together strands of human hair.
While hiking in northern California several years ago, I came across a number of skeleton leaves. I was taken with the intricacy of the line and was determined to find a way to render them using hair.

If I may ask... Why hair...? I mean, they're beautiful but I'm just wondering what inspired you to use such a(n) unique material~
why is no one asking "HOW?" lol thats what i want to know!!! they are amazing!!! i just want to know how it was done lol
This must have taken so many, many hours to do each one. Amazing and beautiful consideribg it is hair.
It makes complete sense to me, your using hair for this project. I've seen such leaves before also and they are amazing. I have to say that your re-creations are almost as amazing. The reason I say almost is that nature has that way, doesn't she, of surprising you. I do have to say however that I am dazzled by your creations. Very well done. Goodlife
Thank you for keeping an art form alive! I'm sure you know of memento mori hair jewelry from the Edwardian and Civil War eras. Your work is beautiful; tendrils live drifting on......
Odd to question why hair, or why not just the real leaf itself. What medium is used isn't the point ....they are works of art. Hair seems the perfect thing to use to mimic the delicacy of nature.
Silly. Thats a perfectly good question. The medium used is exactly the point, especially if its part of the article title.
