She began working with crepe paper as her art medium two years ago. On her website, she categorized her crepe paper artworks as paper objects. Her subjects for her paper objects are mostly flowers and insects. Initially, she started making traditional flowers out of fine crepe paper. Then she decided to go for a more challenging creation by creating uncommon subjects such as the Venus flytrap and gecko. Her paper artworks are so realistic that it’s hard to believe that they’re made of paper. Take a look at her astounding collection of super-realistic paper objects
