My vision is to capture and preserve the natural beauty of Mother Nature's flowers so that they can be enjoyed for years.

 
 
I collect flowers from the mountainside behind my home (where they grow wild) and transform them into beautiful, usable works of art.  Creating something beautiful with my own hands gives me a great sense of personal satisfaction and happiness. I have learned how to make paper through trial and (lots of) error. I recycle scrap paper and junk mail into handmade paper  and make it beautiful by adding in the blossoms and leaves of wildflowers. The flowers are actually embedded in the paper, not just pasted on top.

These wonderful wild roses can be transformed into a lovely keepsake.

And these sundrops make unique, all occasion notecards.
"sundrops on the hillside" "laminated sundrop cards"

 

Sometimes there's no telling what you'll find hiding amongst the flowers.

 
I've been "on the road" for several years now. Here are a couple of pictures of my booth and my "helpers". NEW! My helpers now have their own page. Click on their smiling faces to learn more about them.

One of my latest creations to display many different flowers.

 Of course, the best wildflowers are the ones you grow yourself.
