Paper Art Dreams - 3D Butterfly

This wonderful butterfly sculpture is made out of paper by AnneMarie Lieftink a.k.a paperartdreams, an artist I found on Etsy.

I love how serene it looks and how all the little paper pieces come together in one great form.

Great job AnneMarie!!!

RED and WHITE - Wall Flowers

I created these Red and White paper flowers as wall decorations for a client's show room installation in Australia.

Materials:
  • Paper,
  • Pearls,
  • Wire, and 
  • Glue.
Pretty simple as far as materials go, and yet the results are quite charming.
Paper wall flowers also in RED, WHITE and TAUPE.

RED, BOOKS and WHITE - - - Pomanders


I really like this palette. What could be more simple, RED, WHITE and BEIGE a.k.a. Book Pages.

In this case, I used this palette to create paper flower pomanders for a little January girl's Alice-themed birthday.

More photos below...

I have also created a paper flowers bridal bouquet in these colors, and also wall flowers.

Purple Magic - Shimmer Paper Flower with Pearl

I have this great shimmer paper that I recently found in a local crafts store, and combined with two other shades of purple I already had, I cut out some paper petals and created this flower.

It's about 6"-7" wide and it can be great as:
  • a simple centerpiece,
  • single-flower bridesmaid bouquet,
  • gift topper,
  • wall flower.

Wedding Bouquets in YELLOW, COBALT BLUE and BOOK PAPER

A book loving bride recently contacted me about creating her wedding flowers and besides sharing her vision of a book-themed wedding (with simple yet stunning table centerpieces of her and the groom's favorite hardcover novels stacked under unassuming Mason jars filled with water and floating candles), she asked me if I could make her bridal bouquet in YELLOWS, BLUES and BOOK PAGES touched with turquoise blue ink..

How magically romantic is that!

I personally love this sunny palette so it was a great pleasure to create her flowers.

Seen below are the Bridal Bouquet, the Maid of Honor Bouquet and the Junior Bridesmaid Bouquet.

I'm also making a pomander for the flower girl, the groomsmen boutonnieres and corsages for the mothers.
