# Leafy Beasts The Misc Collection Uses the Most Unlikely of Canvases By Alex Scott | Published 2010-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misc-collection References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Misc/456370) & [designrelated](http://www.designrelated.com/profile/stephanesantana) One my favorite things to do in the fall as a kid would be to jump into a big pile of leaves, throwing them everywhere. I never really found another use for them other than that; to be honest, I didn't really think they could be used for anything else. That is, until I stumbled upon the Misc collection. With leaves being the delicate little things that they are, I am absolutely blown away by what artist Stephane Santana has been able to do in his Misc collection. Now maybe these pieces were enhanced a little by post production, but even still, you have to admit it's quite a clever idea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Leaf Art:** Creating art using leaves as a canvas offers a unique and innovative way to explore nature-inspired creations. - **Eco-art:** Using organic materials like leaves to create art promotes sustainability and eco-friendly practices. - **Post Production Art:** Blending post-production techniques with natural elements like leaves opens up new possibilities for artistic expression. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore new avenues by incorporating natural elements like leaves in their creations. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Manufacturers of eco-friendly products can consider incorporating leaf-inspired designs and materials to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with using leaves as props or backdrops to add a unique and organic element to their images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Leaf-Inspired Colorful Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-tray.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Organic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-collection-1.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md)
