Intricate leaves and stem details
“These flowers are pure joy, and I love their happy, sunny faces. If I had to pick a word about this course, it would be 'precision'. Kelly's details in the flower and her instruction give you the opportunity to replicate it exactly, and I'm so glad I made more than one so that I could practice new techniques and tricks that will be part of my toolbox going forward. Highly recommend this course for anyone wanting their own paper Shasta Daisies.”

Delicate petal details that transform
“I would say that Kelly's level of detail to the realism of the daisy and her patient guidance through the process pretty much guarantees a stunning result.”

Example Curriculum
Your Instructor Kelly Pastorek
My mission in my exploration of paper botanicals is to find and execute the subtle details that are the essence of each bloom, replicating their gestures with as much accuracy as possible. The process of creating botanical art is as much a meditation and appreciation of nature as it is the creation of a physical object. In this way, my botanical specimens are meant to act as a mirror, reminding the viewer of our place on earth and reconnecting them to the importance of nature. This is the power of biophilic design.
