Violets

Spring is here! Soon it will be time for the violets to appear.Violets are my favorite flower.  Naturally, they are also one of my favorite paper subjects. I love the heart-shaped leaves and the delicate flowers. In "violets" I used many shades of handmade paper for the stylized leaves. In "picking violets" the tiny violets the girl has in her pocket are made from real pressed violets.
So, until the real things pop up in a lawn, woodland or vacant lot near you, here are some paper violtes to enjoy.
