Calathea Compendium_Leaf Leather Frame

**Calathea Compendium_Leaf Leather Frame** A still life poem of twelve leaves. Amidst the urban rhythm, let twelve calathea leaves whisper nature's secrets to you. Inspired by the diverse leaf shapes of the Marantaceae family, these 12 calathea leather pieces recreate the veins, textures, and interplay of light and shadow through hand-dyeing, carving, and shaping techniques. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by artisans, ensuring no two are alike, just like the original creations in nature. 🪡 **Material Narrative:** - Crafted from vegetable-tanned cowhide, hand-dyed to achieve varying shades of green and patterns, mimicking the light, shadow, and texture of calathea leaves. Mounted on beige linen with 150lb sketch paper, and framed with wooden bars at the top and bottom for magnetic hanging, suitable for A4 size. - Each artwork undergoes hand-dyeing, shaping, and color-fixing processes using imported eco-friendly dyes, resulting in a unique character and distinct details. - Minor variations in size and color are to be expected due to the purely handmade nature of the product. 🌿 **Care Instructions:** - Avoid contact with water and do not wipe with alcohol. If accidentally wet, gently dab with a dry cloth and allow to air dry naturally. - Vegetable-tanned leather is naturally breathable. It will deepen in color over time with air exposure, which is a normal phenomenon.
