Russian Artist ‘Grows’ Mini Paper Flowers That Will ‘Bloom Forever’ (60 Pics)

Paper is one of the simplest things that anyone can use to create art. Just consider origami or paper-mache—techniques like folding square sheets of paper or slapping wet paper onto a mold can lead to some of the most incredible results.

But there are, of course, other ways of manipulating paper to create incredible pieces of art. Take Tania Lissova, for instance, who “grows” tiny hand-crafted paper flower bouquets that look as realistic as actual flowers.

Tania Lissova is a paper artist from Tyumen, Russia who makes a variety of extremely intricate nature-themed crafts, including postcards, posters, envelopes, stickers, and framed pictures. One of her more eye-catching projects is to create miniature flower bouquets made completely from paper.

While she does have printed material, like posters and stickers, much of her craft is cut and pasted to form the likes of columbines, chamomile, poppies, sunflowers, wild dill, chrysanthemum, peony, daisies, forget-me-nots, anémones, marshmallows, fuchsias, heather, and a bunch more—you name it, she has probably crafted it. And because these are carefully made using tiny intricate pieces and layers of colored paper, it also looks as real as actual flowers, with the whole 3D look.

Besides flowers, she also does adorable pots of plants like palm trees, cacti, and fig trees. There’s even one potted flower that comes in a wicker basket, which you can guess how much time and detail it took to craft. Both potted plants and flower bouquets are pasted onto postcards, collages, and framed pictures, among other things, and sold on her Etsy store.
