Handmade paper roses, from The Winthrop Woman, published in 1959.
Each petal is hand cut and added to the flower individually.
Stacked together and tied with a simple ribbon, these roses make a stunning bouquet.
And as promised, the special project using the ‘map’ illustration from an old book. Each of these frames contains an original and very limited edition prose passage, handwritten on cobblestone-textured cream paper.

Peeking out of this little arrangement … a hand-tinted rose made from a 1959 copy of The Winthrop Woman. A couple of flowers in linen paper, wrapped in tissue, makes a gorgeous little gift for a book lover.

Bouquet of new and vintage papers, with double layered textured paper leaves in purple and white.
Bouquet of pink vellum and black-and-white polka-dot paper, with fat padded stems wrapped in pink and white embroidery thread. My current favourite!

Vintage and recycled paper makes a bunch perfect for a bridesmaid’s posy or as a centrepiece placed in a rustic pot.
