Full, lush, and impossibly layered, the peony is the flower of abundance — and one of the most joyful challenges in Ingrid's repertoire. Recreating a peony in paper requires building out dozens of individually shaped petals, each one cupped and ruffled to mirror the dense, cloud-like fullness of the real bloom. It is one of the most labor-intensive pieces she makes, and one of the most rewarding to behold.

Peonies carry an inherent warmth and generosity that translates beautifully into a gift for any occasion — from celebrations to sympathy, from weddings to hospital rooms where real flowers are not allowed. Rich in color and presence, a Petals to Stems peony is the kind of piece that earns a permanent home on a shelf.
