palm leaf-made Dinosaur, tyrannosaurus,Chinese traditional handicraft
by Ting Zhang
This tyrannosaurus is made by natural palm leaf, I weaved it for more than 10 hours. The length of the tyrannosaurus is about 20cm. 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.
