In Europe and America, this art has developed around 5 – 10 years. The idea initially only use the leaves – dried leaves that fell in the garden. Various dried leaves are used as media for paint. Painting a variety of shapes can be produced, ranging from landscapes, animals form, human face, to abstract paintings. In online b2b marketplace a lot of information about the crafts.
Painting steps:
1. Choosing leaf
Choose the type of leaves can be dried. Leaf – leaves a lot of water containing (eg, Kalanchoe pinnata leaf, aloe vera, impatient) can not be used. The shape of leaves figures should be adjusted to the desired animals. Eg leaf butterflies – butterflies you can use to create butterfly – butterfly. If you want to make the beetle, select lancet-shaped leaves (length). Find a leaf that is a bit old and intact. If too young, not good for drying.
2. Dried
Clean leaf-dauan of the remaining water or moisture with a cloth or diangin – first aired. Then leaves tucked between the pages. Set sedikian way that all the leaf surface covered by the book. Avoid accumulation of dry leaves to keep good form. We recommend the above book to put the burden of pressure on the dry leaves evenly. This drying takes between a week to two weeks. Actually you can use the two boards are screwed. This tool is used for mass production or leaves – large leaves for special work.
3. Color coated base
After the leaves – dried leaves, you’re living color. In order to create the perfect color, the leaves were painted in white acrylic base until evenly distributed. After that diangin-aired about 10 – 15 minutes until dry. The next step we create a pattern of the selected animal motifs.
4. Making patterns
Actually this step is not necessary if you are already accustomed to the coloring. However, to avoid errors, the pattern is necessary. Make the appropriate lines of your creation with ordinary pencil. Or it can also take advantage of the veins – veins of leaves as a pattern.
5. Color
This follows the pattern of coloring that have been made. Would be easier if you paint the young colors first. New and older color. Most recent black color to paint not smudged. The combination depends on taste. Variations can be obtained by cutting the leaves and mengombinasi color. It’s just that this cutting would remove the original form of leaves. After the paint is dry, you can stick pins or double-tape leaves behind as the adhesive on the field or the curtain will be decorated.

Clay animation
Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is “deformable” — made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay.
All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When played back at a frame rate greater than 10–12 frames per second, a fairly convincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved. While the playback feature creating an illusion is true of all moving images (from zoetrope to films to videogames), the techniques involved in creating CGI are generally removed from a frame-by-frame process.
Technique
In clay animation, one of the many forms of stop-motion animation, each object is sculpted in clay or a similarly pliable material such as Plasticine, usually around a wire skeleton called an armature. As in other forms of object animation, the object is arranged on the set (background), a film frame is exposed, and the object or character is then moved slightly by hand. Another frame is taken, and the object is moved slightly again. This cycle is repeated until the animator has achieved the desired amount of film. The human mind processes the series of slightly changing, rapidly playing images as motion, hence making it appear that the object is moving by itself. To achieve the best results, a consistent shooting environment is needed to maintain the illusion of continuity. This means paying special attention to maintaining consistent lighting and object placement and working in a calm environment.
