melanderson: seaswallowme: hrrrthrrr: These laser cut leaves are kind of amazing!  From Brazilian design firm, Tatil Design. More here. You can do this by leaving a cutout on top of a leaf in full sun for about 4-5 hours, then put it in HOT hydrogen peroxide, and then in iodine. Voila! you got a picture. The chloroform under the cutout aren’t activated cause they’re not being penetrated by the sun. The hydrogen stops the cellular respiration by denaturing cells, and the iodine stains the starch produced. Oh! Leaf still has to be on the tree, bush, whatever. It’s got to be alive.
