Thank you! It's great to be able to photograph them all together; they will eventually be framed separately.

Today I made paper nigella. I made the one on the left first, then realized I could try again to make the leaves even more feathery. Which do you prefer?

Centaurea montana. In the knapweed/cornflower family. It seeds itself all over the place. Gorgeous work!

Did you know that you could make dye from this pretty native wildflower? Coreopsis tinctoria, has been called "dyers coreopsis" and the dye results in tones of orange and brown.

Grow this Not that!
A display box made as an educational tool.
These paper plants depict Shasta Daisy and Oxeye Daisy. While neither are a native plant to North America, the idea is to encourage people to plant Shastas as they are non-invasive (they're a hybrid).
I was so pleased to make this!

Grow This Not That display: Shasta Daisy is non invasive while Oxeye Daisy is!
