In China's lush Guizhou Province, Yang Li is revolutionizing traditional crafts by stitching vibrant stories onto nature's canvas – leaf veins! Combining Miao, Tujia, and Dong ethnic embroidery techniques, this visionary artisan transforms autumn leaves from Fanjing Mountain's primal forests into delicate works of art.
Each leaf undergoes 30+ steps – from rubbing to drying – until its veins become paper-thin 'fabric.' Yang then embroiders intricate patterns of flowers, birds, and folklore figures, breathing new life into what nature leaves behind.
Now training local embroiderers in her innovative craft, Yang also harnesses TikTok-style platforms to showcase this eco-friendly art globally. Her viral videos prove that tradition and technology can grow together – one exquisite leaf at a time!
