Leaves

Recently, a picture has been in my mind – a leaf 🍃

Not a real leaf, but a small object you can hold in your palm that makes you feel better just by looking at it
The inspiration actually comes from Japanese confections, exquisite, delicate, each piece with its own unique texture

I wondered, could there be a leaf that is as therapeutic as a confection, reassuring to look at, and cures everything if eaten (though this one can't be eaten haha)

When modeling, I deliberately made the veins finer and the edges slightly curled. When printed and placed on the table, it looks especially gentle in the sunlight
When a friend came over and saw it, their first reaction was 'This is too beautiful,' and then they quietly picked it up and looked at it for a long time

I put it by the window, and sometimes when I'm tired, I just stare at it and zone out for a bit
I can't quite explain why, but I just feel healed 🍃

Perhaps this is what I wanted to create – not just an ordinary leaf, but one that brings peace to people
Although it can't actually be eaten, just looking at it makes worries seem less heavy

If you also have such a small thing in your heart, why not try making it
The joy of 3D printing is probably being able to turn gentle thoughts in your mind into a tangible warmth in your hands ✌️
