Summer Space Studio

One of my favorite parts of paper flower making is the planning. (If this gives away that I’m a Virgo- you’ve guessed correctly)

Figuring out the pattern, color matching, what weight of paper I need and the coloring techniques is very satisfying to me. Once I nailed this part I would make a few prototypes to test out my pattern and coloring.

The tricky part for Foxgloves is each tiny flower has slightly different gradients so I can see that I’ll have to use 2-3 different paper color and make sure they all work together.

😮‍💨 the next part is making the buds and the flowers which I’ll slowly have those made while my baby is sleeping

Rose of Sharon- Just for fun.

A potential client asked for a sample of Rose of Sharon, which is South Korea’s national flower, in a smaller size and with Lavender paper. After making a sample I thought I’d make a life size ones anyway just for fun! I then took a walk in the neighborhood and saw them everywhere- (husband hand for scale at slide 4).

Made with 180gram Italian crepe from , from for shading.
All by hand at my tiny studio in Astoria, NYC 💜
