with scissors, glue, and a rainbow of italian crepe paper, i transform paper to petal as i handcraft each piece of the flower and build each blossom. i handcut, sculpt, and carefully place all of the petals, sepals, and leaves- and the bouquets are created with a love for design.

i am forever inspired by color and texture- i am endlessly entertained by the gradations of a sunset and i love wandering through the pages of a design magazine- so it brings me great joy to assemble flowers and bouquets with a creative spirit, an intuitive eye for aesthetics, and attention to detail.

i first discovered paper flowers when i obtained a little paper flower kit in high school. the hobby was full of creativity and precision that caught my interest. years later i found my way further to paper flowers as i began to purchase full rolls of crepe paper and come up with my own ideas for flower designs. i fell in love with the magic when form and charm are born from a simple piece of paper and a dose of handiwork.

lilac and blush came to be in 2019 when i was accepted into the local artisans market and decided that it would be amazing to be able to offer paper flowers for purusing and purchase. lilac and blush are two of the colors that were featured, respectively, in one of my first market collections and one of my early favorite bouquet creations.

it has been a pleasure to bring lilac and blush to life and to bring a little beauty to the world through paper and flowers. enjoy exploring!
