Some artists don’t need much to get by: a piece of paper, perhaps, and a pair of scissors. Danish paper artist, Marianne Eriksen-Scott Hansen, has for years been turning paper into magic. It’s not as simply as it might seem.
Her paper flowers are made by using 50 to 60 pieces of papers each, layered one on top of the other, then delicately cut to form petals and stems.
Graduating from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1995,
Other brands were quick to jump on board. In addition to her work with industrial products, she makes spectacular hand cut accessories that are truly “paper coutore”. These were adorned by Björk and Steven Tyler among others.
Take a look.

Wow, my “insta”friends 😘This is my 1111th instapost❣️❣️❣️❣️I can’t believe that I’ve shared with you 1111 pictures since Sunday May 19th. 2013 when I gave this @Instagram “thing” a shot for the first time. Now, 5 years later with SO many new friends ( I like to imagine you as being friendly that rather than just “following”) Some of your names I have gotten to know bc we share the same passion for #paperart or #paperflowers. Some of you I’ve met even irl which is truly fantastic! Some of you are, sadly, invisible to me and have private, closed profiles, but follow me anyway – for various reasons, I know.. But still, I feel enriched by this wonderful creative community and everything that we SHARE 🙌🏻❣️❤️❣️🙌🏻Thank you all for ALWAYS being kind, positive and encouraging when you comment on my posts🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 This is, above everything, a beautiful sign of generousity and kindness and I am forever grateful for this ❤️♥️❤️The 1111th picture is (only) a quick repost, tho(!) You used to like it back in the day, so maybe you will like it even today 🤞🏻😉😘😉🙏🏻This Sunday will be spent with my family (and not that much Instagram), but I wish each of you a very wonderful Sunday out there😍❤️😘 M #giantpaperflower #papirblomst #paperflorist #paperflora #paperfloral #instabloom #paperflowersofinstagram #instaflora #papperskonst #pappersblommor #fiberart #fleursenpapier #papierblumen #fioridicarta #floraldecor #papercreation #flowerart #floralart #botanicalart #papercraft #flowerlove #handmadeflower #giantbouquet #paperbouquet #diseñofloral #decoracionfloral #co2venligeblomster #klimavenligeblomster
