Synopsis

Step into paper botanicals with celebrated artist Fideli Sundqvist and make a year-round “paper garden”, from delicate leaves and floral bouquets to sculptural potted plants. The book guides you through 50 designs, including bold monstera leaves, dainty forget-me-nots, trailing ivy and a fruit-laden lemon tree, supported by step-by-step tutorials and ready-to-trace full-size templates.

A beginner-friendly introduction covers the basic materials and techniques, before moving from folding and cutting into more advanced paper modelling, including using wires as armatures and small amounts of double-sided tape or glue for assembly. “Exploded flower” photographs show components close up, and you are encouraged to experiment with different paper types and textures such as crepe and tissue. This edition is a translation of a popular Swedish title.
