Process & Production

The leaves are made from lacquer and bended wire. By twisting the wire and shaping it into the desired form it creates the outline. The lacquer is applied with a paint brush or dipped into. Once applied, it spreads within the wire frame and takes about a minute to harden. To protect the delicate surface, a transparent hardener is applied on top of each leaf before they can be carefully assembled.
