His page about how and why he does this is both in Spanish and English and tells us:
The entire process is: picking the leaves, washing, drying, pressing, and cutting. While they are in the press, I sketch out the drawing, which I attach to the leaf before starting to cut it. At the end, I peel it off, and this last step is the most delicate of all because the leaf is fragile and days of work can be ruined in just moments.
I think this work is pretty amazing, but it also seemed familiar. And then I remembered at picture we received as a gift in India that was made from a kind of palm leaf if I recall correctly. Here's a part of it.
Without such talent myself, I have to be content with the natural leaves growing outside my window.
How stunning!

I hope he sells well.

In Hungary this attitude would lead to bankrupcy. There was an experiment with a water machine. You could buy water from the machine and you decided the price. People barely paid despite it was mentioned that the money goes for charity purposes.
