Hydrangeas, sunflowers and succulents - paper flowers of a needlewoman from Singapore (Photo)

Paper flowers are a hobby of Singapore-based artist Mable Lowe. Constant creativity allows her improvised flower garden to "grow" almost daily. Fortunately, this does not require seeds, earth or water.

At first glance, plants, created by Mable Lowe, look like living ones. But this is the skill she has been pursuing for years. For work, a woman uses thick multi-colored paper and cardboard. A special technique of carving and twisting allows seemingly not living flowers to look very realistic. The stems, buds and leaves are as real.

The creations of a needlewoman from Singapore are very practical. They do not require any special care. They don't even need to be watered or replanted while the roots are growing. It is enough just to periodically brush away dust with a soft cloth or a whisk.

Mable Lowe's arsenal of works includes sunflowers, succulents, and hydrangeas. But she especially enjoys creating orchids. They turn out to be very delicate, topped with delicious buds. And you don't have to be intimidated by the problems associated with caring for this demanding flower.
