Daydream Flowers

Making submerged aquatics from paper is a careful step by step process. Each element is hand cut and painted before being assembled and framed.

Flowering Rush
This is an invasive plant here in Ontario. Too bad because it's so pretty! It's blooming right now and I'm noticing it in places on the Clyde river where I've never seen it before. I tried pulling some of it out but there is more than I can eradicate. Does anyone have a good strategy for dealing with this plant?
I made this paper model last fall for the University of Minnesota Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology.

What does time off mean for you?
I've been very determined to take time off this summer. To hang out with my family, be in my garden, and relax.
But for me time off doesn't mean not making flowers! I am just working at a slower pace, and taking inspiration close to home. It's nice to just play around with paper!
