This stag beetle is weaved by natural palm leaf.
It took me more than 6 hours to weave, and after that, I dyed it with coloring agent.
This stag beetle is very similar to the real one, and you can pose it as you wish because it’s legs are movable.

Palm leaf weaving is a Chinese traditional handicraft which starts from 3000 years ago.
The specialty of this craft is using palm leaf as the the weaving material. Although the material is natural leaf, the works can be kept for decades without any distortion.
