Giant Handmade Paper Flowers

Tania took these stunning photos of my paper flowers at Shop Handmade a little while back - I don't think I have shared them as yet. Isn't the blue bird painting behind beautiful? It was painted by local artist Annie Pritchard, it also sold quite a few weeks ago!



This flower was constructed petal by petal and individually wired and taped, made from a stiff paper from Eckersleys art shop. My trusty old floristry skills came in handy for this one and it was definitely a favourite. I hope you all had a great weekend.

My Creative Space - Giant Paper Flower Wedding Bouquets

I made these giant paper flower bouquets for a local bride who found me through a friend of a friend! They were fun to make and I love the colours the bride chose. The girls were wearing a dusty pink dress and I think the grey would have looked stunning!



The tissue paper held it's shape well, I just hope it didn't rain - the wedding was on the Gold Coast! The brides flower was made from a crinkly tissue paper which was a lot firmer and I think I preferred the shape and look. I used gum tree sticks and lightly sanded the bumps and lumps off!! My brides dream wedding flowers were inspired by this bride!



Grab a cuppa and wander on over to Kirsty's for a creative feast!

Large Paper Flowers

Amaaaaaazing dhaarling! Really - have you seen anything like this wall of paper flowers? They make me well and truly giddy! These images are from Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel show.



The construction of flowers in all sorts of mediums is on my mind constantly, it can be very distracting.... (husband cover your eyes now) - even while I am driving, forget the mobile phone being dangerous. This last headpiece is pretty cool don't you think? This display would have taken HOURS! So pretty.

Paper Flowers

I have been making paper flowers for a wedding and can't wait to show them off but that will be a while down the track... in the meantime here are some sample flowers I made! The first two are made from tissue paper and the third craft paper.





The scale is deceiving they are larger than a dinner plate! Number 2 & 3 were my favourites! Each petal is individual wired on this last flower, it took a long time to make! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Pop up Paper Flower Shop

David Stark and his team are pretty amazing!! They design some fabulous events and the theming is a visual feast. They also designed and made this pop-up flower store completely out of paper, walls, awning and all! How very cool.

Pretty Packaging

A few more favourites from Cox and Cox! I would have cupboards full of this stuff if I could :-) Don't you think ribbon looks even more gorgeous when on a wooden spool! I LOVE ribbon as much as I love paper.







We are off to an interview for 3yr old Pre-school today... my girl is sooo ready - I wasn't sure I was but since Josiah has come along I would be happy for her to start in October when she turns 3, not in the new year (if I get the option). I miss my sleep!!
