Admiring the intricate collages created by England based artist, Helen Ahpornsiri.  She studied illustration  at the university but was inspired by paper cutting and collage which led her to experiment with fern collage.  The images are made by using only pressed flowers, petals, stems and leaves.  The pressed pieces are cut and delicately positioned to create the illustrations.

More of her work can be seen on her website, Facebook and Instagram.  Prints of these illustrations can be purchased here on her Etsy shop.
