Fantasy worlds on a dry maple leaf

Graphic designer Valeria Prieto from Iowa since childhood, loved nature and collected dried flowers and leaves between the pages of books. This fall, she was walking around the neighborhood and found so many great leaves, which took them home, and then suddenly decided to use them as canvases. She likes the idea that nature should be saved and give her a chance at a second life. Prieto drawings made with acrylic and ink.

One of the favorite characters Valerie — Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Frida and her husband, artist and political activist Diego Rivera.

And here Valery has depicted van Gogh's painting "Starry night."

Christie Bothwell (Nancy Woland) and Beka Zaridze — two self-taught artist who organized the project "24 fallen leaf".

Number 24 for the pair has a special meaning: this is the date of their first meeting. On the question of what gave them the idea to paint on the leaves, they respond that it was love.

The lovers walked together in the autumn Park, Nancy picked up an autumn leaf, they Bukoi looked at each other and knew exactly what to do with it — create.

The couple of artists other favorite image — a Little Prince from a fairy tale Exupery and his planet.

This figure can be seen and the other characters of the tale: the Fox and the rose.
