Botanical Beauties

Guest post by Mr Yen



Hello everyone, for this post in the Botanical Beauties series I'm featuring something I'm really passionate about - PAPER!

I think using a simple material, such as paper, lets creativity flourish and that's when interesting things start to happen! It amazes me how creative people can be with paper, using it for such a wide range of applications, from window displays and fully formed products to a method of communication through illustration.

I hope you enjoyed this post, my final post will be about products & packaging that feature botanical beauties!

This is so cool! I did a post similar to this about artists who work with paper! Have you heard of Bianca Chang or Peter Callesen? They both work with paper too, and actually, comparing all three, I like how there they're all different in some way!

Here's the post incase you're interested!
