Paper plants so realistic they're hard to tell apart from the real thing, handmade to look completely authentic

Handmade paper flowers use paper to record and express the beauty of natural flowers; whether capturing their spirit or their form, they all reflect a beautiful longing for and imagination of nature.

What is rather interesting is that other art forms mostly pursue the artist's unique expression of things, so the pursuit of realism and likeness of form is not their main goal, but paper flowers are exactly the opposite: realism is the most important standard.

It looks very simple, but pursuing the ultimate realism is actually very difficult, not only because of the craftsmanship, but also because it requires a background in botany, that is, knowing plants and flowers inside out.

Seattle, USA paper flower artist Deanna Toloudis is just such a creator with a background in botany.

Deanna mainly uses crepe paper and scissors as her primary tools, and integrates her understanding of plant colors and textures, as well as their living habits, into her creations, handmaking paper plants so realistic they can pass for real, especially paper flowers, which are complete in both form and spirit, making people marvel that when the fake is taken as real, the real seems fake too.
