A wedding gift

I was approached several months ago to paint hydrangeas as a gift for a new bride.  The bride, for her bouquet, selected award winning Limelight hydrangeas, which have an extended blooming season from midsummer through fall.  The flowers begin blooming in a chartreuse hue that is almost white, then they change to light lime in color.  As fall approaches, the flowers begin to turn pink.  The bride, the flowers and (I have heard....) the wedding were all beautiful. I hope she enjoys her hydrangeas for years to come.  To read more about Limelight Hydrangeas, visit

Nice things come in pretty packages......

This Paper Lily Studio gift will hit the mail box today as a 'Thank You' gift. The recipient will have the pleasure of peeling away the layers of special packaging (all re-usable!) to reveal a piece of artwork ready to frame.  My Paper Lily Studio pieces are matted to 8"x10".  Ready to frame and enjoy! 

Old Seeds, New Sprouts

About eight years ago, I was having lunch with a good friend. We were chatting through ideas, just for fun, of businesses that would be both family friendly and also feed artistic~creative juices.  For most of my life I have painted, creating many floral/botanical pieces and also works influenced by my education and experience in design and architecture.  The idea to create small pieces of artwork for gift-giving to celebrate the many significant moments in life, came to me suddenly that day.  The idea sat as a seed for years until recently when I started to develop the concept into what is now Paper Lily Studio.  And so..... to set up a business, to create an identity, to develop a website, to blog and to carve out time to produce pieces to share and sell have been the things on my to-do list for months.  I am making headway and I hope that you will enjoy your visit to my Paper Lily Studio blog. Please visit often and share with your friends!
