Palm leaf - made insect, cricket, grasshopper, katydid, Chinese traditional handicraft
by Ting Zhang
These insects are made by natural palm leaf. Each of them is as natural as though it were living. And the size of them is almost the same as the real one’s. It takes me more than 2.5 hours to weave. $9.9 is the price for each insect. 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.
