If you have followed me for a while you have seen my obsession with crepe paper and making magical little creations with it.
I have been playing with paper for many years but just in the last year got serious about it. I find it as kind of a relaxation or creative therapy when I need to unwind.
I have many favorite artists and have taken some online courses. My first is Tiffany Turner. She is a large flower installation artist and has an amazing book that I find myself oogling over all the time. She brings such a realness to her creations and really thinks outside of the box.
Her book: The Fine Art of Paper Flowers is a gorgeous book you will want to display on your coffee table and read over and over.
I am also a subscription member to Lia Griffith. If there is a flower you want to make, she has it no doubt. She also sells her papers and supplies on amazon.
My new favorite artist that I have recently taken a Dahlia tutorial from is Jessie Chui from craftedtobloom.com.
Did you know she started a podcast for people like me who are obsessed with making paper flowers? It is called Paper Talk and it is seriously inspirational.
I am 4 weeks out from school being out for the summer and I will be learning and crafting all summer long!
Below is my new Vision Board. As you can see I am adding many inspirational crepe paper photos!
Here is my latest creation for a dear friend who lost her father recently. I added different shades of Pink Peonies, white peonies, apricot and pink roses. I am still learning but this little passion of mine gives me so much purpose and happiness every time I sit down to create a single flower.
In this arrangement I used all Werola German Crepe Paper from Rosemille.com. I used the heavy crepe as well as fine crepe paper to give the arrangement some depth.
