Huang Taisheng's leaf-carving work for the Lunar New Year depicts tigers crouch in pine woods. |
Leaf-carving artist Huang Taisheng has finished his tiger-themed work to celebrate the Lunar New Year, Yangtze Evening Post reports. The picture, carved on a large pine leaf, depicts three tigers crouching in pine woods.
"The tigers belong to a family," Mr. Huang said. "Look at them! How relaxing they are in the pine woods."
The leaf has gone through a complicated procedure to make it suitable for permanent preservation.
Huang, a native of Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, invented leaf-carving more than two decades ago after being inspired by a worm-eaten leaf that resembled a map. Since 1985, he has created more than 3,000 leaf-carving works.
