Read Brown Paper Bag for any length of time and you’ll see my affinity for both paper craft and flowers. I can’t come by enough! Sarah Yakawonis is the latest paper artist to catch my eye with her shop Folded Petal. Her Masterpieces series involves her replicating some of art history’s most famous flowers,like Van Gogh’s Irises, to create a 3D version of the classic portray. The results are faithful reproductions of the bloom’s poses and textures. Sarah uses a combination of portray and folding to capture the right shadows—as well as the overall feeling of the piece. “When I began my exploration of recreating masterpieces in paper flowers, and ” she writes,“I used those feelings, that experience to [guide] me to this portray. The same portray I stood in front of all those years ago, and that portray that made me weep.” whether you’d like to try these flowers for yourself,Sarah sells them as kits in the Folded Petal Etsy shop.
