Golden Tickseed

A paper sculpture of a golden tickseed AKA coreopsis. I Copied this flower from one growing in my garden. Did you know that these plants can be used to make dye? I used painted crepe paper to make the flowers and the leaves are made from drawing paper and acrylic paint. This bloom is mounted herbarium-style on a wooden board for display. It is 12" x 5".
A label with both the common and scientific names is mounted below the flower. This piece has a "D" ring on the back for hanging, and it is signed. Each of my botanical sculptures has been sprayed with a UV protectant spray and comes with care information.
