A paper sculpture of a spotted knapweed. This is a noxious weed here in Ontario: I try to pull them out when I encounter them. But it is really pretty too! I used 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 14" 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.
