Artist turns fallen and dead leaves into beautiful art work

We all love leaves and they make our environment beautiful and green. But after the leaves fall and become crunchy and brown, it's easy to forget about them.

That, however, is not the case for Polish painter Joanna Wirazka, who uses something other than traditional paper to create beautiful artwork.

Wirazka paints on fallen leaves, turning them into tiny landscapes by using acrylic paints. The leaves are naturally very fragile, which makes the level of detail that she achieves all the more impressive.

Painting on leaves isn't easy. Wirazka must contend with the small sizes, uneven textures, and brittleness of them but she pulls it off beautifully.

From nature and space scenes, to cityscapes and famous landmarks, her leaves become tiny windows into the world.
