Palm Portrait
Myanmar is rich in forestry and nature. There are many palm trees and coconut trees. Palm Portraits are made from the products of local toddy palm trees. The portraits are made from the raw materials of the toddy trees such as toddy fruit, toddy fronds with cover, spandex of a male toddy tree, toddy leaves, and toddy shoots.
Making Palm Portraits needs artistic designs and ideas and also to mix with Myanmar Tradition. First a beautiful sketch is to be made on paper. Natural scenes such as mountain ranges, rivers and trees are usually drawn. Each part is cut into single parts. Then pasted on the toddy products and cut again as the same shape. Then using each part the whole scenic view can be regrouped in a frame and pasted with glue. The frame is made of wood and the inner part is already colored to match the original picture. After finishing up assembling all the small little parts, the frame is then covered with glass. Now, the Palm Portrait becomes beautiful and tidy. The making of this palm portrait needs specifications, patience and design ideas. Now, many locals and foreign visitors love Palm Portraits.
