Paper Art,

featuring many botanical species,



 including magnolias, irises and begonias,

 are the work of JUDITH+ ROLFE their title is derived from their middle names, JUDITH (Daphne Lee) is the artist while her partner, ROLFE (Jamie Sneed), runs the business and logistics,

 “The technique I use most can broadly be called ‘quilling’ since I work with strips of paper and lay them on edge to form designs,” says Lee,

 paper quilling is an artistic practice dating back to the 15th century, which was initially used to decorate religious objects, 

 basing her technique on the ancient craft, Lee gives her work a contemporary twist by creating big and bold pieces of single flowers or plants,

 to view more of JUDITH + ROLFE’s work, visit their Instagram page,

 for myself,

 it is just amazing,

 that in their minds,

the couple can think of a shape like a leaf or a flower and make it happen just by folding paper.
