Palm leaf- made Flying Dragon, Chinese traditional handicraft creative creature
by Ting Zhang
This flying dragon is weaved by natural palm leaf, and its inspiration is from a medieval legend. It took me more than 8 hours to weave. The length of it is about 15cm. 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.
