Robert Sabuda - paper flowers centerpiece mockups for Sindy

Now I was pretty excited when Sindy approached me and asked if I could create for the famous writer and artist Robert Sabuda some paper flower center pieces for the book signing in May. She wanted the paper flowers to pop out from a book of Roberts. Now Robert has these gorgeous pop up book that are just amazing and mind boggling,he is a extremely talented artist.

His amazing books can be see here Pop up books by Robert Sabuda.

Here are some pictures of the arrangement I created on a book binder that she gave me.The book binder would be more brightly colored.

I wanted a garden popping up from the book so add a bit of moss and note the butterfly and the bugs :-)!

Jude's order : using paper flowers for her wedding

I finally am done wih Jude's order (I am way behind schedule again) and so ready to move on to another exciting order for another famous paper artist (more to come on that in my next posts) and then onto an anemone bouquet.

Now Jude's order had some large party flowers and lovely colors,she had asked for large mums (her favorites are mums) and I was hesitant in taking up that as I hadn't yet made any large mums but in fact they turned out pretty good! So Jude here are the mums! Picutres of mums in many sizes galore :-)

Richard's Samples of large party paper flowers

I got an email from Richard of Richard Des Jardins,NY for some samples of my large paper party flowers for a wall art he is planning to make.



He asked for a 12 inch ivory rose, an 8 inch white rose and some more smaller flowers and of course he liked the pink peony so much he asked me to add one of that too!

Jude's wedding with St Jude's paper flowers!

A few weeks ago a client came to me with a special name! Jude! I was really happy to hear the same name as my name and well as my business name which is named after St Jude the great patron of hopeless cases. I have had great favors that were received from my patron saint :-) hence in thanksgiving I named my business after him.


Anyway Jude has ordered flower for the entire wedding in white a and whisper pink,the pictures are following.
