]]> We are amazed again and again by the incredible things talented people can do with paper. This time our attention was captured by the works of JUDiTH + ROLFE, an artistic duo who create amazing paper art inspired by plants and flowers.

JUDiTH + ROLFE is comprised out of artist Daphne Judith Lee and her husband Jamie Rolfe Sneed, who handles the business and logistics. The two met in New York City while working in the architecture business and quickly realized that they both appreciate all the different ways paper can be used for artistic purposes. Later on, the duo decided to shift their attention to paper art, and that is how their artistic collective was born.

Most of the art that the duo produces revolves around nature and flora, and their pieces often include recreations of different botanic species such as irises, begonias, and magnolias. In order to make this intriguing art, Daphne uses multiple techniques including quilling, folding, cutting, and layering.

“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,” – Daphne explains. “The paper strips are glued individually to create the artwork, not unlike sketching with paper.”

Check out some of these incredible works below.

GINKGO No. 5, 3/8"H paper on 12" x 12" archival panel. Ready to hang, framed dimension 13.25" x 13.25" x 1.25" . Mark your calendars, this piece will be up for auction on Friday, May 10th, at the 3rd Annual Minnesota Sound Bites, benefitting the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance @tsalliance . To see the auction catalog and event details, visit: tsalliance.schoolauction.net/mnsoundbites2019 (I'll place the link on a highlighted story, so you can just swipe up from there.) . Excerpted from the tsalliance.org website – What is TSC? Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form in many different organs, primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. The aspects of TSC that most strongly impact quality of life are generally associated with the brain: seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism. How Many People Have TSC? Current estimates place tuberous sclerosis complex-affected births at one in 6,000. Nearly 1 million people worldwide are estimated to have TSC, with approximately 50,000 in the United States. . Thank you to @kariaihle for letting us be part of this cause. #MadeFromPaper #JUDiTHandROLFE

1st image – from a Cruse scanner 2nd image – DSLR, taken by me . So I thought I was halfway decent at taking photographs of my artwork until I saw this scan of my Morning Glories by the Cruse scanner (thanks to Mark @artsdistrictimageworks, who has the only Cruse scanner in the region). I dare say I haven't been doing my paperart justice, which all goes to show, in this day and age of social media, it's not really sufficient to produce good art, you have to document it just as well, if not better. I will be getting a few more of my floral pieces scanned, for future prints. If there's any particular piece you'd like to see as a print, let me know in the comments! (Thank you to those who already responded to this in my story a few days ago.) . #WHPUpToMe #WHPGlamourShot #WHPMadeFromPaper #JUDiTHandROLFE

Last week was spent researching flowers and their meanings for a card. The iris flower is symbolic of transformation, it is often associated with faith, valor, and wisdom. Blue irises, in particular, represent hope and faith. Did you know – the iris flower has its roots in Greek mythology. It takes its name from the ancient Greek goddess Iris, who was thought to use the rainbow as a bridge between realms. Irises come in a variety of colors and variegations, thus, these beautiful flowers were named to honor the goddess and bring favor upon the earth. The ancient Greeks planted purple iris flowers on the graves of women, believing the flowers would entice the goddess Iris to lead their loved ones in the journey to heaven. #iris #MadeFromPaper #JUDiTHandROLFE
