Weekly Wrap #130 : Charles Lahti

September 28, 2012 // kristen // 1 replies

I was instantly entranced by this gorgeous gift wrap by artist and master printmaker, Charles Lahti, for Kate’s Paperie. The unique, screenprinted designs are filled with Gothic and Medieval-inspired imagery that makes the art historian in me practically giddy with dark-edged delight. Reserve these beauties for special gifts, or hang them on the wall as beautiful pieces of art.

Sunflower #1 (imported French paper, archival glue – 48″ in diameter)

Michele Tremblay has years of experience as both a fine artist and a floral designer, and she has brought these two worlds together to create “My Delightful Mission”, a collection of elegantly crafted, large scale paper flower sculptures.

Each scuplture is made from exquisite, imported archival paper that Michele bends, twists, cuts, folds, colors, and glues to create her beautiful paper flowers. From the ethereal beauty of Diaphanous to the lash-like stamen of Tiger Flower, the love and care put into these pieces shows in each small detail.
